You can do two, three, four things at once.
You can be in a meeting and do unrelated work at the same time.
You can drive an Uber and take a call with a friend.
You can draft a blog post, listen to your kid and eat at the same time.
We can but it doesn’t mean we should. Efficiencies drop. Focus ebbs and flows. And, more often than not, we leave someone else short – and that’s not cool.
Respond “not attending” to the meeting. Set aside time for your call. Listen first, blog and eat later.
Stay Positive & Prioritize
