One Thing at A Time, Please

Multi-Tasking ia Bad for Health

Experts in United States are saying that doing more than one thing at a time us mentally damaging. People who want to sharpen their multi-tasking skills may now need to think twice about it.

The bottom line is that you can't simultaneously be thinking about your tax return and reading an essay, just as you can't talk to yourself about two things at once.

People may think otherwise, but it's a myth.

The expert added that habitual multi-tasking may also condition the brain to an overexcited state, making it difficult to focus. People lose the skill and the will to maintain concentration.

This can be easily seen from children from Developed and Developing nations. These kids are perpetually multitasking - from listening tto music on their MP3 players and watching TV, while talking on their mobile phones - and getting dismal grades in school as a result, goes the argument.

Similarly, this applies to career minded people like us. Always want to read All the Self-Improvement Books, go for all the Seminars, and do all types of work on the computer at the same time. This usually will cause a drop in efficiency andf quality of their work.

So bloggers, rember focus more on One Thing At A Time, Please....and you will find your Success earlier......
