so many things are simultaneously happening in my life. so many thoughts wanting attention that priority seems to be the consitent cry of all of them. i want to take a step back. but it seems that I don't have that luxury of time. to survive they say, we need to have the ability to multi-task.
doing 2 or more things simultaneously seem to be the norm in this generation. i take a vacation and try to squeeze in a day for meetings in that country, which makes me feel like so it was work after all. fix up a powerpoint while researching for the next presentation only to ask so which part was I in again. oh and last saturday's scheduled time out with a friend that I conveniently placed in eastwood so that it'll be easier to go to the office and turn in the time sheets. which ended up with me not seeing the friend at all because of the other emails that I had to check.
does it really have to be that way? can't we just do one thing at a time and make sure all efforts on it thus making it easier for us?
i am leaning on the side that people need to start unlearning the practice of multi-friggin-tasking. I feel that it robs us of savoring the learnings - be it the success or things to work on- of life. slowly we are forgetting what it is to focus. this lack of ability to be "in the moment" then trinkles down to other aspects of our lives- especially in relationships.
so for you is all about the quantity? Or is all about the quality of interaction?
