Having It A.L.L.

The Magic In Doing One. Thing. At. A. Time.

Are you a multitasker? 

We all like to think that we're pretty efficient at doing multiple things at a time. We switch between different work tasks at once, we try and clean the house while disciplining the kids and ordering food over the phone, we put on our clothes while checking Instagram and talking with our partner. All in an attempt to be more productive, have more time, and feel more effective. 

But I'm about to burst your pretty little multitasking bubble! Multitasking is a lie and a trap!! It's not really a thing and falling into the trap robs you of the very experience you want to have: a sense of peace, more time, feelings of effectiveness and productivity. 

We fall into the trap because our society rewards "doingness". The busier you are, the more valued you are. So we try and stuff more and more into our 24 hour days. That leads to multitasking, which leads to feeling overwhelmed, stressed out, anxious, hurried, impatient and frustrated.

I'm guilt of this as well (which is why I recorded this podcast 😉

In today's episode I expose the trap of multitasking, and show you the magic of doing one thing at a time.
