7. 2.
Become
a
Mindful
Unitasker
Mul0tasking
for
produc0vity
is
a
myth…
• You
can
only
give
full
a^en0on
to
one
thing
• Unfocused
ac0ons
lead
to
stress
MINDFULNESS:
Awareness
in
the
present
moment
without
judgment
Learn
how
to
perform
MINDFUL
ac0vity:
• Observe
the
difference
in
a
basic
ac0vity
(ea0ng,
listening)
when
you
are
fully
engaged
and
focusing
• Do
one
thing
at
a
0me,
do
it
very
well,
and
then
move
on
• MINDFULNESS
not
only
reduces
stress
but
promotes
a
posi0ve
sense
of
accomplishment
because
you
are
aware
of
what
you
have
done

Create
Your
Bucket
List
Rather
than
the
2
dimensional
thinking
of
PRIORITIZING
put
your
ac0vity
in
the
prac0cal
way
we
think
of
tasks:
• Put
your
To
Dos
into
the
appropriate
bucket
• Schedule
every
item
in
your
Must
Do
bucket
• Move
one
item
a
day
from
Should
Do
to
your
Must
Do
bucket
• Move
one
item
a
week
from
Could
Do
to
Should
Do
• Put
a
0me
limit
on
your
buckets
that
make
sense
for
you,
an
example:
Must
=
1
day,
Should
=
1
week,
Could
=
1
month
If
you
expect
it
to
get
done
you
should
schedule
it
to
be
done!
MUST
DO
SHOULD
DO
