Challenge Mono-uni-task Day 10 of 30 - When I Grow Up

Challenge Mono-uni-task Day 10 of 30 - When I Grow Up OK, so Ive been slacking but at least Im aware of it! Im the worst when Im on the computer writing emails while having an IM conversation while surfing the Internets. But Ive also learned a great big lesson these past 10 days: Make your expectations realistic, dont try to make yourself into someone that youre not. Seems pretty obvious, but let it sink in. When I thought up this challenge, I thought Id turn into a mono-uni-tasker overnight. Once I started, I figured The Multitasking Monster would stop hiding under my bed would leave my apartment. Now, 10+ days in (+ because I tried to do this without fully committing myself to it), I realize that I have to be realistic. I dont think I ever will be a mono-uni-tasker. My brain just isnt wired that way. So thats it?! youre asking. I want my money back! I didnt even get to see the monsters face! No worries, my blogging audience this isnt Cloverfield. Im not giving up my challenge in the least bit. Im just going to reshape it to make it my own, which makes it achievable and encouraging. So, instead of being a mono-uni-tasker, Ill be a di-or tri-tasker. Ill be more conscientious of only focusing on one thing at a time, but if something more pressing occurs (ie getting an important call while Im drafting this post) Ill be able to prioritize. Crafting this is already making me feel like this will be a more manageable, and worthwhile, challenge. And to prove it, I just watched my Gmail Inbox go from 1 new email to 2, and I didnt even click over to see what was there. Is there anything that youre trying to accomplish that seems unreachable? Try to rephrase your lofty goals to make them more attainable for your personality traits. Feel free to talk about them in the Comments section get some support along the way!
