##Blog Post Scope/Audience
You're sitting at your desk, working on some interesting new ideas for your latest story when suddenly you realize that it's been almost three hours since you've moved from this spot. The last time you got up was to get a cup of tea, but now that your back is sore and your eyes are getting heavy, that plan falls apart.
When you look around the room, it seems as if all of your coworkers are starting to finish up their work day and prepare to go home. And while they chat loudly behind their cubicle walls, you suddenly realize what a nice day it is outside: sunny. You could go home right this instant and still have time to relax in the park before dinner. But then again, there are these new thoughts for the story that you're currently working on...
What do you do?
If you're like most people, you think about doing both at the same time. In fact, the second your butt hits your chair, your mind starts to drift off to these new ideas for the article that are currently taking up residence in your head. You'll probably know by now that this isn't an entirely original thought process; it's called multitasking and it's something that we all do every day. The problem is that for most of us it doesn't work as well as it does for grocery shopping or checking our email, so we have this strange dichotomy between two different types of tasks. By definition, multitasking is the ability to perform multiple tasks simultaneously; however, we can also use it to describe the constant switching back and forth between two things that should be done at once. In both cases, we're better off if we do one thing at a time.
Generally, this means that if you're working on an article or something else that requires a fair amount of concentration, you should leave your phone and any other distractions behind you and give yourself the mental freedom to concentrate on what you're doing. It's really not hard: just put your phone in another room and walk out of the office when someone needs to talk to you about something else. You should also certainly avoid using the computer to type up that article. There are of course exceptions; if you've been working on the same article for weeks and it's due in three days, it might be worth checking email and responding to clients to see if there is anything you can take care of.
When it comes to talking on the phone – in person or over the phone - we're probably all guilty of multitasking. At times, doing so seems as natural as breathing and we barely notice that we're doing it. But when we're talking over the phone, there are certain guidelines that help keep our focus:
-Make sure that the person on the other end of your call is a real person instead of a voice machine.
-Avoid talking about yourself or your work unless you have a very interesting story to share.
-Always ask one question at a time: "Do you have any questions for me?"
-Be sure to say "thank you" and end your conversation on a high note.
-Never finish an off the cuff conversation in an elevator, while walking home from the train station, or while sitting next to someone at a restaurant.
But all of us are guilty of multitasking. The problem is that we don't notice it, just as we don't realize how much time is passing when we're daydreaming. Maybe we've been doing it longer than we realize, but the overall result is that we aren't spending the time to do any one thing well. When you're reading something on your computer, you can lose sight of what it's about and get sucked into a complicated back-and-forth conversation that you find yourself having with yourself. The reason for this is that in some ways reading something on the computer mimics what it's like to talk on the phone or read something in a book: every character has their own voice and every word is in constant motion.
For most of us, multitasking is a very natural phenomenon; however you can use this technique to your advantage by taking advantage of passive learning. To be able to do this, you have to avoid the distraction of all electronic devices while you're reading. It's best to read in a quiet place and if possible, do it in a distraction free environment. The major benefit is that when you're reading something on paper, your mind is able to focus more on what you're reading and as an added bonus, it stimulates your imagination more than reading does when you're using the computer. This means that instead of simply remembering what you read about in some article about the flu epidemic or how those who are over fifty are now the fastest growing members of the workforce for large corporations, your mind can naturally expand on it and create some very interesting thoughts. It's also a good idea to use your fingers as a guide when you're reading. When you're on the computer, it's easy to occasionally find yourself going down a rabbit hole and clicking on things that suddenly have nothing to do with what you were originally trying to read.This is fine once in a while, but it's just one more distraction away from having your mind concentrate on what it's reading.
If you've ever done any writing and mistakenly forgotten to write down some of the basic facts about your article –the thesis statement, for example – then sometimes this technique can also be used for editing. When you're proof-reading, it's very easy to get sucked into a conversation with yourself. In fact, if you're using a word processor and there are other things on the screen, you'll have no clue where in the file your cursor is! At this point, what works best is to write down all the main points of each sentence on a piece of paper and take a close look at it while reading every sentence out loud. This will also help recall important details about what you're writing: if you've ever forgotten that one extra step in your article because it sounded really stupid when you read it out loud, then this technique can help you remember.
The main idea is to be able to do one thing at a time. When you're eating, try not to check email or text messages. If you're typing up an article, be sure to turn off your computer and phone, leave the office if you have to, and make sure that no one interrupts you while you're writing that next great novel. Don't worry if this is hard at first: like any good habit, you'll get better with practice. Your brain will thank you for it; trust me.
