I often find clarity that way – but I’m still multitasking. When I run, I can only multitask 3 things: running, focus on breathing, and cognitive focus on one other thought process. Makes it pretty loud in my head at times.įor me, running is a good example. I think it’s somewhat unrealistic to think we’re not all multitaskers to one degree or another – I know for me, my brain has a thousand things flurrying around at any given moment, waiting for me to snatch a handful of ideas out of the air and do something with them. I use some of the principles of GTD when I’m nearing the endgame before a deadline, but for the most part I am an inherent multitasker. Folks really can become religious about it, and understandably so. I recently asked a friend (who by the way is extremely productive in his work habits) what he thought of the Getting Things Done (GTD) philosophy. I think Janice really nailed it – of course, I am an artist as well so maybe that is why her explanation made so much sense to me. I read magazines, go in another room, walk around, etc. I stop for 10 minutes every hour and do something completely unrelated to work. ![]() Add several breaks into your schedule.You can have Twitter or Gmail going, but keep the list in front of you too ![]() Work off these documents, not all the other inputs that come your way.
