Explanation:

Too Much To Do

I’m not denying that there are times when multitasking is useful or even necessary. All too often, the multitude of responsibilities we bear makes it essential that we function as efficiently as possible, and sometimes that means finding ways of doing more than one activity at the same time.

But when we multitask as a matter of course or habit, we rob ourselves of a sense of accomplishment or pride in what we have done because we are still doing something else. We don’t experience a feeling of completion because we don’t make time to take stock. We seldom slow down and celebrate what we’ve already done because there is still so much to do.

We have confused quantity with quality, thinking the number of tasks completed or obligations fulfilled are more important than the degree of excellence or thoroughness to which the work is done. And we wonder why we feel a pervading sense of exhaustion coupled with a sense that we just aren’t working hard enough or fast enough – because, if we were, wouldn’t we be done by now?

At one point in my life, despite all the checkmarks next to completed items on my to-do list, I realized I was feeling increasingly frustrated and dissatisfied. My work was not at the level I wanted it to be, my family was complaining that I never really listened to them (“I told you that already, Mom! Didn’t you listen?” was a frequent complaint), and it was becoming less and less intrinsically satisfying to be Superwoman.

I knew I had to do something different, decisive. I had to take a figurative 180-degree turn in how I handled my life. And so, I decided to cease multitasking.
