As a rule, I do not multi task. I do one thing and I do it well. I do it until it’s done, and then I move on to the next thing.
This works great for me. I get into The Flow on a regular basis and I’m able to stay focused on what’s right in front of me, no matter how long my to do list is. I’m productive and efficient when I’m doing one thing at a time.
Unfortunately, doing one thing at a time doesn’t seem to be an option at the moment, and I’m struggling to figure out how to avoid getting overwhelmed from moment to moment.




I’ve spent most of my work life in commission based jobs. A raise meant selling more stuff than before and, therefore, earning more commission. How much money I made has always been directly tied to how well I did my job in a measurable, tangible way.
I spend at least 8 hours a day sitting in front of my laptop. Both my full time job and all of my side jobs are conducted on my handy dandy Dell Inspiron notebook.
If I’m having problems at home, it is almost always reflected in my work.
Not all of us are working at our dream jobs.
