Multi-tasking

The biggest difference between today and tomorrow, is that tomorrow hasn't happened yet. Today is the only day that truly matters because history is written today. If you think life's short, you need to remember that life's only short because we think it is. A moment could be a million years and we'd still be complaining life's short.

So how do we "gain" time? Earn time to do more things? Make time for our favorite activities? We multitask. We try to do more than one thing at once, because the more things you are able to finish in a day, the more time we have free to spend on ourselves another day. Right? Wrong! If your able to do more than the others in terms of work, you'd only end up with more work to do. Why? It's the nature of the universe to burden us with work and for those who are able to finish the same amount of work as others in a shorter time, always strive to do even more work.

Is it not true that capable people are capable because of the amount of work they are able to finish in the same time as another person?

So when we finish our work by multitasking, we're labeling ourselves as capable. And when we do that, we commit ourselves to the ideal that we need to do more work to live up to that self labeling. Silly isn't it? By trying to earn more free time for oneself, we end up losing the time we originally set out to gain. If you want to test out this theory, why not try multitasking a tiny bit and give me a comment on the results.

Alauz Out!
