It is switch tasking! When we switch tasks, the brain stops and starts again, and again… This costs time, is less efficient and drains our energy.
This happens, often in our lives, I know all too well as I was queen of the multi-taskers! It used to be me!! Does this sound like you too?
Steps to being more efficient: Schedule for, and commit to, a task for a specific chunk of time, work on similar tasks in a block to minimise switching, make time for a break and review progress with fresh eyes; what you have achieved, what you have left to do, and any new information that might be useful, make this way of working a new habit.
