I am a Multi tasker

Are you busy? What are your tasks for today? You may be multitasking today, right?

Multi tasking is the ability of a person to perform different activities and tasks at the same time. Both activities or tasks are related to each other or not.

If you saw most of my post in my noise.cash account, I always post my multitasking activity for that day. I trade and attend classes at the same time or I write something on my laptop then on my phone I check charts for my trading. 😅

College life is somehow complicated one but the excitement is always there. Complicated in a sense that there are responsibilities that need to consider.

Being a newbie trader and a crypto enthusiast, I can't last a day without checking crypto news and updates, trade a bit, visit my crypto sites and read some learning materials about crypto.

Yeah, I both study my lessons for my course and study crypto at the same time. Kinda tough especially for my course, which is health-related. But I am interested in both field. They may be very different with each other.

So going back to the topic, multi-tasking.

Why I always do multi-tasking?

I do multi tasking first of all because of my hectic schedule. Then I want to compress every task at the same time. I tend to use every single second available just to finish some tasks. I also can't last to have pending tasks in my to-do lists. I want every thing organized and all done before their deadlines.

Is it healthy?

This will be depend upon the person. In my opinion, it is not that healthy for a person if you multi-task and the result of each task or one of the task does not met the acceptable quality for that specific task. Hence, not healthy for the task itself.

It may also cause loss of focus and loss of quality of work. You may also experience headache if the degree of each task is too heavy. Unhealthy for a person especially if your mind and body is not ready for it.

On the otherhand, if you performed each task perfectly as possible, the benefits will have more weight than its disadvantages.

What are the benefits?

• Helps your tasks to make a progress at the same time, rather than concentrating in one and the other one is left with no progress at all.

• Personally, multi tasking develops our coping mechanisms in terms of different events happening in our life, especially those negative ones.

• Develops our focus and concentration ability. It may be contradictory to say that it will develop focus but your are focusing to different activities. But the multi tasking itself takes a lot of focus. Your critical thinking ability also developed during this phase.

• Dealing with distractions in life. If you effectively developed a multi tasking ability, you will also learn how to deal with distractions like those that are not helpful for you and your tasks.

Any Disadvantages?

• We might end up starting everything at once and accomplish nothing. This might very hard to deal, we might felt disappointment and end up finding ourselves unproductive.

• Getting tired easily. It took so much concentration thus might burned more energy than usual. Especially for those tasks that require physical strength. In terms of mental aspect, our mind also become tired and might end up being ineffective and no progress may attain for those tasks.

• Not effective for long term. If you tend to do multi tasking for a very long time, we might end up losing the purpose of the multi tasking itself, which is to finish the tasks.

• Quality of the tasks will be compromised. We might have lesser time and effort to ensure the quality of the tasks.

Multi tasking is not for everyone. This might not be effective for you or in some this is very beneficial for their progress. If you want to try to do multi tasking, do it first in two simple tasks.

Time management is very important. If it is not necessary, lessen doing multi tasking. It is still better to have a better time management for each tasks.

• Write them down, do a check-list

• Prioritize things

• Finish tasks according to deadlines or from easiest to most difficult, may be depend upon your preference

• Start early

• Lessen procrastination

• Evaluate at the end of the day your accomplishments

I hope you learned something about my topic. This might not be applicable to anyone but I'm sure that one way or the other, this might help someone to deal with this type of difficulties in their daily activities.

Just always remember that the quality of the task is more important than the quantity of task done. But it is necessary to still finish them before your deadlines.

Proper time management is also advisable to everyone. In every aspect of our daily lives, we need take time to manage time. Sounds redundant, but yeah, we must set a minute of our time to make a list or create a time management tools.

So as a student, a crypto enthusiast and also an ordinary individual; I tend to multi task multiple times in a day.

Are you a multi tasker too? What practice that makes your tasks more effective?
