Single and Satisfied . . .

Single focused that is . . . had you wondering there for a second, didn't I? I only wish I could be the Type A, multi-tasking, juggling 10 plates at a time kind of woman, but this I am not. Is there such a thing as single-tasking?

Vince Posente writes in his book, The Age of Speed (click to read Tony Morgan's review), "By juggling too many tasks or allowing too many distractions, you condition your brain to stay overstimulated, weakening your ability to concentrate."

Hmm, maybe that overwhelming feeling I get when I've got too much on my plate is called over-stimulation. It effectively paralyzes me.

He also writes, "More options lead to more stress--whether we choose to pursue them or not. When we have a lot of options and many decisions to make, our destinies become less clear."

This explains why I say, Give me one thing to do and I'll give it my best. The one thing, of course, is what I do best - my gifts, strengths, and talents working in harmony to do one thing well.

I no longer wish I could be the multi-tasking queen. I’m perfectly satisfied being single-focused . . . that’s the way God made me and that’s the way I function best. It’s a lot less stressful!

What about you? Multi- or single-tasked?
