Multitasking! Have you ever felt you are doing lots of things but at the same time nothing?
Yes? I know! I feel ya!
Last month I attended a conference for entrepreneurs and one of the speakers said if we want to manage our time efficiently we have to stop MULTITASKING.
Multitasking is one of the attribute most mothers are well known for.
However, when we think we’re multitasking, most often we aren’t really doing two things at once – but instead, individual actions in rapid succession.
Trying more than one thing at a time seriously compromises our ability to complete the tasks well. Unitasking is the ideal way to get things done.
And here I am having my breakfast while checking emails (image above). Do you think I am doing both things well? Nope! I am not enjoying my breakfast and I am not replying to emails just reading and then I totally forget to go back plus missing interaction with kids.
So... What should we do?
Mamas, one thing at a time. Relax, enjoy the journey.
Remember we are built to work on one thing at a time. We are not machines.
Let's stop putting pressure on ourselves and enjoy our lives.

It’s so hard not to try do 10 things all at once but you’re right, one thing at a time and each thing gets done properly
I feel like I'm literally multi-tasking all day long. Even when I'm sleeping, I'm working in my head.
We moms are always putting pressure on ourselves to be super women. Your right one thing at a time.
This message could not have come at a better time, this weekend has been so hectic and I have been doing lots of multitasking but need to learn to relax more
So important to remember we need to take a step back sometimes and be kinder to ourselves. Loved this post. Thank you!
