There is no doubt that in the new world, multi-taking is common phenomena. You are going to coupe with demands from different sources that asking for your attentions.
Oh yeah, you must learn to coupe with multi-tasking. (Just wonder why this term is so common these days. I used to be only people in the IT circle using it...). What is the first thing you realised from the effect of multi-tasking? For me, it is cutting down of my sleeping hours.
Yes, I know this is bad. But, for the moment, I just have to live with that until I found my way out. Learning to multi-tasking is another powerful skill. You need to learn how to multi-task yet when you are on each task, you put your 100% focus on the task at hand. Without such sub-focusing, you will not achieve the productivity you needed to succeed in this extremely demanding world.
One thing that can help you to achieve more is also to learn how to make decision quick. Stop sitting on the issue at hand. Make a choice and move on. Make mini plan for each tasks: Collect Information, Analyse, Decide and Act. Use these simple 4 step formula and allocate time for each of the tasks. Then you will have more control over your time.
These 4 simple steps are nothing more than common sense. However, have you implemented them? How successfully have you done so? I must readily admit that I am still learning too. You can never be able to perfect these skills. Let's say we improve inch-by-inch everyday.
