Single Task Can Improve Your Productivity

People usually think the more they can multi-task, the more they will be productive. Well, this is true, but not always. Sometimes multi-tasking not only won't help you to be more productive, but also can lead to losing focus on the subject you're working on.

Single Tasking is working on one task at a time and don't go on any other until it gets finished. Sometime though, the current tasks needs sometimes to be completed without your action, or needs somebody's else action, ex: you have to download a very big file, or your server administrator needs to do some modifications on the server before you can upload it there. In situation like this, mark this task as Waiting and go to the other one until it gets finished and gets back to the first again.

I tried it and it really works plus, each tasks you finish, gives you more energy to do the others. But don't let this to make you start by the easy tasks, you'll lose the best of your energy on the simple tasks and you may not have enough for the tough ones.
