We'll always have multiple things we could do in every moment
As we look back in time we think it was better then, while it would have been less before
People would often have had more than one thing to do
So then you get the conundrum: what do you do?
Some people try to solve the problem by multitasking (stretching your attention out across things, doing each slower and some badly)
Some get overwhelmed and either do nothing/a little bit or get very stressed out by it and still doing nothing/a little bit
Or others try to do everything by speeding up or working longer hours
In fact, none of these solutions feel great
What to do then???
The real answer is this:
We can do one thing at a time
Yes, just one thing
We can either look at our phones/ipad/pc/tv or we can listen to our children, husbands, wives, partners...
We can work or we can take a break, we can be active or sleep, we can drive or text...
We can pick one thing to do and when that is done, we pick the next thing
When we accept its just one thing, then another, life is a lot simpler
Are we busy, not really, just lots of options to choose from.
Pick those that are best for you!
