http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/07/060726083302.htm - Multi-tasking negatively impacts our ability to learn deeply and remember things. Additionally, multi-tasking assumes task or priority equality, which rarely exists in life or business. The classic cliff hanger "You can only save one person, who do you save from falling to their death" rarely happens in life or business. If the unlikely cliff hanger darkens your door, how much capacity will you have to respond to that scenario, when your life is fragmented by less important priorities taking valuable time and energy away from vitally important ones.
It's like a super hero stopping to chat with on lookers at an apartment fire versus saving the people IN the apartment fire. PR is important, but saving lives sits a little higher on the list. Today,our lives are ablaze with doing more and more stuff, and we're the arsonist!
We robs ourselves of capacity to actually get important stuff done and instead lament our existance or chalk it up to "It's society's fault" or anything else, as we throw one more piece of kindling on our time fire.
Time is short, as a reminder to those who forget that one day we won't have any at all. On that day, what will be said of you: This person did a lot and got things done or This person did enough, which accomplished much in and through others. Choose wisely - time is infinite, your stake in it is not. You only have so much time in this life, which is just enough to:
- discover and use your gift
- to positively, deeply impact others
- to get important stuff done extremely well
- live free of the stress an obsessed world hard wired into technology
Just Food for thought
