In my previous post I covered the many downsides of multitasking. Yesterday I stumbled upon this great interview on the power of being present that supports and adds to my article.
Kathleen Slattery-Moschkau from the Kathleen Show interviews Claudia Wallis, who is Editor-at-Large at Time Magazine and has specialized as a writer and editor of stories covering health, science, women’s and children’s issues, education and lifestyle. She definitely has experience, so give it a listen. I think the interview will speak to many of you, as the multitasking “disease” is spread at the office as well as far outside of it.
Your cell-phone is ringing, your mailbox has 200 messages, a colleague is breathing down your neck and the boss just dropped two new projects on your desk. Meanwhile, you’re attempting to swallow a stale muffin and cafeteria coffee, trying to remember if you let the dog out this morning.
