For a person who has a lot of deliverables, it always seems as if there’s so much to do in so little time.
One solution for such a problem is a strategy known as multitasking. Although some people don’t like the idea of doing a lot of things simultaneously, when done properly, multitasking really gets more things done. It’s very effective to some people and this is why we’re helping you become better at it.

A lot of productivity gurus will frown at multitasking. Well, their claim holds much water since people often find it hard to effectively multitask that’s why they’re better off doing one chore at a time. However, if you can effectively segment the steps in a task and distribute your attention across these substeps, you can actually multitask.
If you’re planning to multitask, you have to identify your tasks. Some people misunderstand that multitasking defeats the essence of having priorities. That’s not entirely true. A more correct way would be to say that multitasking has more than one priority. If you want to accomplish three tasks in an hour, you have to set three realistic tasks that are indeed manageable in one hour. Example of three things you can do simultaneously, listening to a friend vent, texting someone else, and having breakfast.
It is also important that you write down all the things you have to do per task. For example, writing your essay will be a lot faster if you already listed down the step-by-step methods as such: researching your literature, making an outline, then actual writing of the essay. All these three steps should be written under the first task of writing your essay.
Set a scheduled time for the tasks. Multitasking has to follow a schedule. The best way to maximize multitasking is to prioritize the most important tasks first before taking on the less important ones.
Time yourself. If you find out that you’re doing less with the time that you have, maybe you are better of giving all your focus to one task at a time. Close all the other “windows” and just pay attention to the first important task at hand.
