I had to ask myself this tonight because I burned the pizza! I know this happens to everyone, but it's proof that, tonight, I wasn't a good multi-tasker. Then I got to thinking, "How often do I do this?" You know, where I think I have everything under control but end of burning the one thing that needed to get done. Tonight, I ended up wasting more time re-doing our dinner instead of making my hungry kids happy in the most efficient way. I haven't figured out the solution to my problem and I don't think I ever will. I will always have a million things to do and a short amount of time to do them. I think the biggest thing I have to take into consideration at home and work are my priorities. What is the most important thing on my list? Are my kids screaming because they are hungry? Then making dinner is the most important thing. Is my marketing department swamped with projects because I don't have enough employees to keep up with the work? Then I need to hire another graphic designer. I guess this is part of my New Year's Resoultion to effective time-management practices.
Well, Rome wasn't built in a day, right? What are your multi-tasking secrets? Let me know!
