Talking on the phone while getting to work, getting dressed, applying mascara, eating lunch, shopping, folding laundry, in line at the drive-thru, cooking dinner, wrangling your kids (the cat, the dog, the mail), tidying up, and…checking your email.
Mobility and wireless technology make for endless multitasking possibilities.
Here’s a radical concept: mono-task. Do…one…thing…at…a…time. This is the same notion behind “empty mind” mediations that make aspiring Buddhists run screaming from retreat halls. But try it. In silence and focus there is power, innovation, and deep nourishment.
If you want to get more done…do…less. No interruptions. No distractions. No idle chatter. Just the moment, leveraged by your full attention.
