“When you multitask, you are not focused on the most important thing that you need to do. Rather, you are focusing on many other things that don’t matter at that time. For example, you are constantly checking your email or your messages when you should be completely focused on getting the job done. Unless there is an email or message which represents a life and death situation, it can wait. If you receive messages that do not refer to anything truly important at the moment, then you can let them sit there and wait. By living in the present, in the here and the now, you are able to focus on what you really need to get done and not what you want to do. Sure, you might be tempted to kick back and watch a couple of episodes of your favorite TV show.”
