A majority of my clients struggle with task-completion because they are thinking/doing many things simultaneously.
Research shows “multi-tasking” is really “task-switching”. It can take 10-15 minutes to fully switch over to a new task.
TIP: Set a TimeTimer for 15–30-minute increments. Watching the red disk disappear as the timer counts down enables us to be intentional, as we grasp the reality of how long a task takes.
TIP: When single-tasking, jot on a notepad any “to-dos” that enter your mind, telling yourself “I will attend to that at a designated time. Now, my time is focused on THIS task.”
