Is Being a Multi-Tasker Good or Bad?

David Vogel argues multitasking kills efficiency and increases mistakes because you can only give 100% focus to one thing at a time. Texting during a Zoom call means you miss information and your boss thinks you're not paying attention.

Are you a multitasker? For years I love getting as many things done as possible. As a former engineer, I thought I was being efficient with my time because I was getting lots of things done at once. It wasn't until I started the entrepreneurial journey that I learned that multitasking doesn't make you more efficient, it actually makes you less efficient. I didn't realize that as much as I was getting more done, they weren't getting done well. My name is David Vogel. I'm the owner of Remote Video Testimonials and using a 100% remote video production service, we capture video testimonials from customers and personal profile videos to build trust and generate more sales. Today is day 23 of my 30 day video challenge. For the entire month of April, I am creating a video a day with hopes of inspiring you in your life, both personally and professionally. The reality is that you can only give 100% of your focus to one thing. So if you're on a zoom call and you're responding to a text message on your phone, you are no longer giving 100% of your attention to what is being said. You might actually miss something important that one of your co workers has shared that you needed to know. Even worse, your boss was on the call and noticed that you weren't paying attention, is now coming up with his own narrative about your level of commitment to your job. If your attention is divided amongst multiple activities, as much as you get them done, none of them get 100% of your focus, which means you might forget to do something or make a mistake. As much as we have all said we'll give 110%, unfortunately you only can give 100%. I hope you found today's video helpful. Don't forget to like and share this video.
