Stop Multi-Tasking to Ease Stress – and Get More Done

‘Multi-tasking’ atau membuat beberapa kerja dalam satu masa akan menyebabkan stres kepada pelakunya kerana terpaksa memikirkan beberapa kerja yang perlu diselesaikan dalam sesuatu masa. Ini kerana otak manusia tidak di’tune’ kepada multi-tasking. ‘Multi-tasking’ juga akan menyebabkan kerja yang perlu dihabiskan menjadi lebih lambat di samping menjejaskan kualiti hasil kerja tersebut. Lebih baik jika ditumpukan ataupun fokus kepada sesuatu kerja, apabila selesai, barulah berubah melakukan kerja yang lain pula. Cara begini akan menghasilkan kerja yang lebih berkualiti.

Stop Multi-Tasking to Ease Stress – and Get More Done

By Caring.com Staff

You’ve probably become an expert multi-tasker, able to juggle two – or even three or four – tasks at the same time. It seems like the model of efficiency. But in fact, it’s probably adding to your stress, making you finish everything more slowly, and affecting the quality of your performance, scientists say. It turns out that our brains aren’t wired to attend to several different things at once. Better for you: Vow to focus on just one thing at a time. When the e-mail pings or your cell phone rings, finish what you’re doing first and then attend to the next item. Force yourself to downshift, and you might just wind up feeling more energized and accomplish more.
