We Woman are known for handling multiple tasks at work or home, with an ease… but because of the routine getting more routine, and too much of thoughts on too many things at a time, there are all the chances of getting distracted with what are we doing… it is required to re learn in what we are already experts in, to un learn all that negative energy inculcated in us… so, here are some affective measures that could help you managing multi tasking with an ease;
Organize your desk. Put everything you use daily within close reach. Get rid of those unused stacks of correspondence, brochures and lists that you keep around because you "might need them some day."
This requires coordination with bosses, coworkers and subordinates. Decide what tasks are really important to you, your boss, your team members and your organization. Do them first. Are these tasks that really don't need to be done at all? Get rid of them. Insist on a clear deadline for each task you take on.
Poor or nonexistent planning is the greatest cause of missed deadlines and delays. For all but the simplest tasks, develop a work plan before you start. Divide large projects into manageable chunks. Organize your tasks into a logical sequence. Plan your time. If you do your best brain work between 10 a.m. and noon, schedule your hardest task for that time slot.
Once you start a task, stick with it to completion. Don't flit around from task to task. Even if you feel pressured because other important tasks are pending, don't let that pressure distract you. You'll accomplish more in the long run if you take one thing at a time.
Pay attention to your major distracters. Do you spend too much time on the phone? Do too many people stop by your desk during a day? Are you "putting out the welcome mat" for people to just stop by and chat? Do you go through your correspondence two or three times before deciding what to do with it? Do you check your e-mail 20 times a day? Analyze those things that are keeping you from accomplishing your tasks, then work to minimize them. Handle correspondence and e-mail just once or twice a day.
