Making a list and checking it twice by Kyle Steed
  • Reading time:1 mins read
  • Post category:Time Management

Multi-tasking diverts your attention from one task to another, making the new task an interruption. Your brain won’t allow you to fully focus on the new task because you have left the previous one uncompleted.
