Work productivity, time management, organization, tools and tips

Great point about multitasking. I'm not great at it but have always been told it was a necessary skill in today's job market. Lately I have felt a little overwhelmed with responsibility so this week I decided to try an experiment. Each day I pick a specific task or group of tasks (depending on how involved they are) and work on one at a time. I have have been a great deal more productive this week simply because I focused my attention on one thing at a time instead of spreading myself thin.

Kimberlee, you just made a perfect argument for doing one thing at a time. Whoever came up with the idea that multi-tasking works was wrong. Perhaps it worked in some theory, but it definitely doesn't cut it in real life.

So glad you're feeling more productive; less stressed, too, I'll bet.

Carolyn -

Thanks for the link to Ari's article. Here's good follow up reading from my favorite daily fix (Trizle):

Good to be blogging with you at Freelance Folder.

PS - how do you do that great comment preview? Is there a plugin for that?

Thanks for the Trizle tip, Dave. Yes to the post and yes to the entire blog. In fact, yes to subscribing, too.

I believe we'll be enjoying Freelance Folder, also.

No doubt there's a comment preview plugin; there's one for just about everything else. I'll keep an eye out for one for you, ok?
