The claim that multitasking is the panacea to productivity-related problems is hogwash. Because, in truth, focusing on something is far better than multitasking. Here are 5 things people who multitask will come to understand
1. Distraction can be useful when you are stuck on an idea
Because, deadlines!
While it is true, you can get inspiration for something when you take your mind off it for a while, you can't really get on it unless you go into full swing.
2. Doing a little bit of something is better than not doing anything at all
It should count as something, right?

Your bits and pieces, your 'here and theres' all amount to work-not-done yet. It was great if you needed a way to kickstart something, but focus now and complete whatever you are working on.
5. You figure out the truth: multitasking doesn't exist
Time to get organized.
Can multitasking truly exist? You can't really do two things at once, if you plan to do good or great work.

There are so many factors to think about: scenery, accessibility, space, accommodation, and that all-important “feel” you get when you picture yourself walking down the aisle. For many couples, the English countryside strikes the perfect balance between romance and practicality — and one county that’s often at the top of the list is Warwickshire. Read more
