We're not multitaskers

Having the ability to do many things at one time receives accolades when in actuality it should not be revered. 

I remember the words "half-assed" spoken throughout my childhood. Or "if you are going to do it, do it right". This instilled in me the importance of focusing on one thing at a time. Doing so allowed the "thing" to have my undivided attention resulting in giving it a "full-assed" effort. :-) 

Your hurrying, fretting, and worrying about getting things done won't change the outcome, but it will cause you unnecessary angst in the meantime. 

Slow down. Focus. Pick what YOU feel needs your energy. Do that thing. Repeat.
