As for multitasking... I'm a mum so it's a continuous thing. You just can't do one thing without being distracted by another. But I think I could improve that at least by scheduling tasks rather than simply keeping a mental list of them. Thank you :) Thanks for this post John

You're absolutely right! I've been letting myself get distracted by the millions of other things instead of focusing on 1 or 2 things at a time. (As I write this I'm in the middle of several other tasks....) I love the pic that you posted - deja vu! =) Thanks for the great advice - keep it coming! Hey John,

Yep... it is indeed not a good feeling when we have to stress ourselves out to perform so many wonderful tasks on hand. It is ,in some ways, time and cost effective to do multitasking and it does give a sense of achievement upon completion. But like what you've said, doing one task or achieving one goal at a time - being simple and not greedy- for the sake of having a good health is a big MUST ! I have some other thoughts for this post. Sometimes it is really hard to just do one thing at a time as things just pop up unexpectedly and many things we do usually involve other people. The thing I am trying to put across is we need to prioritise the things we do and do them with a positive mindset. And if things do not come out as planned, we shall not feel frustrated nor blame others over the matter. What's important is what we have learnt through the matter and how much we know about ourselves... Cheers Ho Hi John, a long time friend…

Eban Pagen had a really good interview on multitasking. The results show our efficiency & IQ actually plummet more than 20% during multitasking. The brain can only focus on one thing at a time & while some people may think doing 3 things in a day is multitasking, it is not. Multitasking is doing 3 things at the very same moment! Mums are usually the best/worse at this...cooking tea, bathing baby, washing clothes, sweeping floor etc...all while trying to get one main job done! Do try & set a schedule, one of the guru's said (Yanik Silver) he sets a timer & does 2 hrs of concentrated work & then goes for a break for 15 mins, comes back etc. Try & have 1 or 2 full days break away from the computer so your own internal computers can refresh & renew. Eat nourishing foods, as while we are in this intense learning phase, we use immense amounts of energy & it needs to be replaced to keep us efficient. Get 7-8 hrs sleep most nights, go for walks of about 10,000 steps a day & ideas will come to you to keep you internally enthusiastic & motivated. That's my agenda now, I used to do 16 hrs a day, 7 days a week at first, as it is so exciting, the online world...then I found my efficiency levels plummeted & it was taking me days to do a job of 2 hrs! Thanks for the timely reminder. Regards, Mary Hi John,

I lost 20 pounds in the last 6 weeks using NutriSystems while I have been healing from knee surgery. That food sucks, but if you stick with it, it's worth it and it works! I have been pretty successful in multitasking. I have a full time job, I consult full time (software engineering), and I run this very cool Santa Barbara Local News website: http://www.PlanetSantaBarbara.com Please take a moment and check it out. I would be interested in your thoughts regarding what I could do to improve it. I actually like your blog - am subscribing now... Hey John -

Too much information in my head at once. Then I have to click on all the open windows on my computer to see if something's there to remind me of what I was working on. It gets worse when I'm stressed. I recently started keeping Ideas and To Do lists to get the thoughts out of my mind and onto paper. That way I don't need to jumble up my head trying to remember stuff. It helps a lot. I multi-task so much that I go blank in the middle of doing something. Too much information in my head at once.

Life is simple, therefore simple is the basic which we need in our daily life. Health is important so do what you can.
