Does multi-tasking really work?
By TGFM Date Published: June 28, 2021
source: https://www.theglobalfilipinomagazine.com/2021/06/28/does-multi-tasking-really-work
Overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), especially those who have adjusted to the work culture in this expat city, have become accustomed to multi-tasking to get as many workloads done as possible.
But does it really work?
Anne Bernadette D. Bonita, an expert in memory improvement who has represented the Philippines in various memory sports competitions, thinks otherwise. She actually recommends not to do it.
âAvoid multitasking,â Bonita said. âFocusing on one thing at a time actually makes you more efficient. When you try to do several tasks at the same time, it prevents you from concentrating well on each task. This can result to making mistakes or errors along the way,â she further explained.
Bonita, who recently gave a lecture entitled, âSharpen Your Memory: Unlock Your Brainâs Hidden Potentialâ at the ongoing 45-minute free Zoom weekly live stream series dubbed, âOpportunity for Filipino Workersâ (OFF Workers), said one instead needs to be focused on the task at hand and do it one at a time
Meantime, most OFWs also plan for early retirement.
To this end, Bonita, president of the Philippine Mind Sports Association and Founder of The Brain Republic Inc., advised that they keep their mind working even while on retirement â solving crossword puzzles can help, she said.
âDo not dream of early retirement, where you will just completely relax for the most part of your day,â Bonita said.
âIt can actually be counterproductive and may cause immediate mental deterioration. You can train your brain by exercising it just like any other muscle in your body.
âOlder people can keep their mind healthier by doing physical exercises, engaging in business or activities that will require them to think or analyze, or even by solving puzzles or brain games. In giving it extra protection, just remember the saying âUse it or Lose it,ââ she said.
