Multi-tasking—Friend or Foe?
In today’s world, we are constantly distracted by e-mail, the internet, cell phones, text messages, etc. Most jobs, including those at Paramount Granite Company, require a person to be a multi-tasker, juggling between several different things at once. While multi-tasking is often necessary and beneficial, it can also create stress and sometimes cause your head to feel like it is spinning. With so many things going on all at the same time, it is sometimes hard for people to slow down and just relax.
I recently came across an article titled, “Overworked & Overbooked,” in an October 2006 issue of Prevention magazine, which listed some tips and suggestions for slowing down after so much multi-tasking.
Following are some of their suggestions:
- When you’re stressed out, get a change of scenery. Go outside and breath in the fresh air. Take a walk. See the beauty in nature.
- Meditate for 20 minutes every day.
- Listen to some easy listening music.
- Reach out to loved ones. Give them a hug.
- Write down things you need to remember before going to bed to help ease your mind and allow for a peaceful night of sleep.
Thanks for reading!
