My friend Ash just sent me a link to an excellent blog post by Walter Kirn, called “The Autumn of the Multitaskers“. For anyone yearning for balance in their lives, I can only say, “read this through now – yes, all three pages!”
The way Walter Kirn describes how multi-tasking has taken over our lives, and how we feel inadequate if we can’t multitask, is an eye opener.
As Ash wrote in his email to me: “It’s the whole sucky thing about modern culture, everybody has 5 minute bites of time and you almost have to market your emails so they bother reading them.”
I’ve been trying to multitask to a huge extent in recent months – studying life coaching, practising Reiki, working with a life coach, and a business coach on a course I signed up to, and getting a couple of businesses up & running… no wonder it all almost blew up in my face3 weeks ago! I think I might just consider Walter Kirn’s revolutionary idea of becoming a “multiquitter“, and try to focus on things in a sensible, logical, one-at-a-time fashion … and see how much better I do …. and feel!!
Take it easy, everyone!!
