In reply to Kathy. Absolutely! I think with some things multitasking can work but the idea of jumping from one task to the next "trying" to get things done just doesn't work! The cube timer is great isn't it!! Thank you! I hope it helps others too! :D

In reply to Elvis. Thank you!! Being aware where your time is going is a HUGE thing as often we have no idea until we make a concious effort to track/make note of it! Only when we know where the time is going can we reallocate it to more productive things! :D

In reply to bunfuns. Music is amazing to get you into the right frame of mind! Getting fully into "the flow" is the ideal! :D

LOVE this! I used to hire people where I worked before retirement, and almost to a person they had “great at multitasking” in their resumes. That was a red flag to me!

I have that exact cube timer you show and use it all the time. I’ll be sharing your post in my FB group!

I have to say, the practicality of your post is just gold! I started using clockify to track how I’m spending my time and hoping to keep myself from distractions

I love listening to music when I monotask, and then I’d be so focus that I tuned out my music as well.

I love this article!!! What has helped reduce my stress and anxiety especially when I feel overwhelmed and trying to multitask is to write everything down via a brain dump and then prioritize my tasks. I use the timer suggestion that you have and that helps tremendously! I recommend following all of Katherine’s suggestions in her post and if you’re still feeling overwhelmed here are 8 things to do-tips from a therapist! https://pantearahimian.com/8-things-to-do-when-your-life-feels-overwhelming/

In reply to Jennifer. Thank you! It's hard as so many of us have been conditioned to think that doing multiple tasks at once is the most productrive way to be when it's now been shown that it's not at all! Having music on can really help!
