Targeting one goal at a time on a schedule is certainly one way to get things done. And if you can't stay interested (or don't want to) in just one project, your schedule method sounds like one which works for you. Hi Mike,

And if you can't stay interested (or don't want to) in just one project, your schedule method sounds like one which works for you.

I'm a multi-tasker as well. For me part of it developed with having children, listening and watching them and doing other things as well. Slowing down and focusing sounds like a worthwhile goal. Two sounds like a great number to me. Cathy,

Slowing down and focusing sounds like a worthwhile goal. Two sounds like a great number to me.

I have to follow a schedule to get anything done consistently. If I make it into a bit of a ritual I can attend to many different projects, getting work done on each, and I feel productive when I do that. Progress is a bit slower, but it happens across many fronts. Mike Logan Hi Doctor,

I am a multi-tasker, have been all my life. Efficiency and safety can be compromised while muti-tasking. I constantly work hard at prioritizing what needs to be done first. It takes work to change habits, but it can be done. Here's to slowing down and focusing on one thing at a time, or maybe two? Great advice! I am a multi-tasker, have been all my life.
