Multi-tasking doesn't work. In fact, it's bad for your productivity. You see, trying to get a load of stuff done, all at once, means that nearly nothing gets finished. You'll simple flick between tasks and get nowhere fast. Even worse is that you run the risk of stressing yourself out because you won't be finishing anything but you'll feel rushed off your feet. So, how do you fix this? Well, it's simple: You work on just one thing at a time. But to give yourself a better chance, it's worth setting a good environment with the following things: Clear your workspace so you only have the current task in front of you Switch off electronic notifications Put your phone on silent (and out of sight) while you work on the task Work in timed chunks (20 minutes is a good start) Once you begin to get the hang of this your productivity will seriously improve. Having said all of that, you need to be tenacious. After all, you're adjusting years of bad habits.
