Learn To Focus And Stop Multitasking

Next time you are sitting in a meeting, take a look around. The odds are high that you will see your colleagues checking screens, texting, and emailing while someone is talking or making a presentation. Many of us are proud of our prowess in multitasking, and wear it like a badge of honor. Many people think they’re good at multitasking, but the research says it simply isn’t true. We get less done, and we do it less accurately and effectively, when we try to multitask. And the people who think they’re good at multitasking are actually the worst at it.

We may be able to fake our ability to multi-task on some projects, but ultimately when things get complicated enough, they require our full attention. Multi-tasking is not only ineffective, it is dangerous. Every time we try to multi-task, we are strengthening the short-term mind part of our brain that wants to indulge, be lazy and rest. However, if we train the brain to focus, we will not only create better quality work, we will also be strengthening the part of our brain responsible for our willpower. This part of the brain is what helped us survive the harsh wilderness millions of years ago, and it can also help us survive a world of constant stimulation and temptation to multi-task.

EFFECTIVE TEAM WORK

WHAT IS TEAMWORK? TEAMWORK is the process of working collaboratively with a group of people in order to achieve a goal. Teamwork is often a crucial part of a business, as it is often necessary for colleagues to work well together, trying their best in any circumstance. Teamwork means that people will try to cooperate, using their individual skills and providing constructive feedback, despite any personal conflict between individuals. A single person sometimes is not capable of making critical decisions alone and taking on big projects without the help of a team. There are many situations when a single person can see only one side of the task or problem. A team is required to see all the aspects of that task, whether good or bad and can make decisions based on everyone’s opinion. An individual needs the support and guidance of others to come out with an effective solution. When individuals come together on a common platform with a common objective of accomplishing a tas

Positive Thinking Isn’t Enough

So why is being able to look at things positively important? The main reason is because what you focus on will affect your actions. If you think about how the world is always against you because every time you set a goal you fail to achieve it, will that make you want to continue going for your goals with enthusiasm and passion? Probably not. When you think positively even though things aren’t going your way, your mind will work towards finding a solution to make things work. Your actions will be different because your focus will be different. The problem that many people have is that thinking positively is easier said than done. When you are in the middle of a challenge, it’s not always easy to look on the bright side of things. So how do you have positive thoughts when there seems to be no evidence that you will achieve your goals or get past your challenge? Faith. You have to have faith that you will be better off if you believe in yourself and keep fighting for your dreams. It’s n
