Despite the proliferation of mobile productivity tools, do you find yourself working less or more hours? How was your stress level lately?

Multi-tasking forces us to accomplish too little of too many—which can lead to an inverse relationship in productivity and stress level. Instead of multi-tasking, focus your energy on one task and one endeavour at a time. Give it 100% of your attention and get it done.

Tiger Woods is a great golfer because he focuses on one sport—golf. You’ll notice that even a computer will slow down if you have so many applications that are running at the same time. If you close all of them but one, that one application will run much faster. What made you think that you can do better?

Stop multi-tasking and start single-tasking to suppress stress and to ensure success.
