Multitasking is Slow You Down

Scott Smith - Motivation and Coaching
About this episode

Multitasking is Slow You Down

Wouldn’t it be great if you could create more time in your day without giving anything up?  

The secret is how you prioritize the projects that are already on your plate. That requires a simple understanding:

1) Working on multiple products simultaneously only delays completing all the projects.

2) When you complete a product, not only is it off your plate, it begins producing your expected results. It also frees up time to move on to your next project.

The next time that you are trying to find more time ask -

“What can I finish right now that will give me more time tomorrow - and every day after that?”

Working on multiple projects simultaneously only delays the completion of all projects. Pick one.

You will love how you have so much more time in your day.
