Is multi-tasking the solution?

People continue to ask me about the value of multi-tasking.  How often do you tell yourself that you are doing a  lot yet, feel you are getting virtually nothing done?  Feel like you are struggling unnecessarily or going nowhere fast? That's because you are.  See the point? 

In essence, experience is the best teacher.  You offer yourself wisdom every moment but have selective awareness based on judging what is useful. Stop judging and then see what happens.

As you begin to slow down, you see clearer.  Be your Dream.  Realize it is not just noticing you do the things you do that's important. It's also being conscious of them, seeing you attribute or overlook value in everything.  Only you can uncover the underlying purpose behind your own apparent madness.  Delve deeper.  Nothing is purposeless.  Every behaviour speaks through you.

Hi Liara .. I suspect not - but we do it a great deal ... certainly I find I do - otherwise I'd clear my desk and get on with my own life ... and that's what I should do - especially as I have other things I need to remain attached to - I hope to split them up shortly and move forward concentrating on my future. Multi-tasking is a distraction or creates more distractions.

Cheers Hilary

Hilary, every instance you say, "should," an inner bell is ringing. This tells you that you are conditioned to believe something you are currently doing is bad or wrong. In truth, you are your own judge and jury. Whatever you are doing in this moment is right for you unless you believe otherwise. Self-criticism can be subtle. Left unnoticed, it eats away at self-worth.
