Making appointments on the phone. Changing diapers. Checking email. Washing dishes. Doing laundry. Getting dressed. All at the same time. Ladies, I know you hear me. You've been there, done that and are probably doing it again tomorrow. I find it amazing that every woman I talk to is always in the midst of a dozen other tasks while on the phone.
What would happen in our lives if we only did one thing at a time? Rob, my loving husband, has been telling me to just do one thing at a time all day today as I stress over a million things. I thought I'd give it a try. What happened? First let's go over what didn't happen. Laundry didn't. Dishes didn't. Truck windshield didn't. The list goes on. What did happen is that the truck received a new emissions vent solenoid, the windshield was priced and date set to have it done, groceries were bought, and half the plants I bought the other day were planted. Oh, and of course Alex was fed, played with and loved on.
Part of me is not happy that I didn't accomplish more. Most of me is feeling a lot less stressed than if I did manage to get everything done. Verdict: I am multi-task functional but sometimes it's just better to do things one at a time. So are you multi-task functional?
