Sequential Task Friday

|

Today is Sequential Task Friday. Instead of trying to do multiple things at the same time like watching an episode of Battlestar Galactica, cleaning the kitchen, posting photos, writing my Script Frenzy screenplay, and reading the next book on my list all at the same time like I would normally try to do, I'm making a concerted effort to do them in sequence. It's more difficult than you might think. Like right now, you probably think I wrote that list of tasks all in one sitting, but really, after each comma, I got up and went and did something else. In fact, in the time it took to write that sentence (roughly forty minutes), I watched ten minutes of BSG, cleaned the stovetop, picked a few photos to post, wrote 200 words of the screenplay, and read ten pages. It sounds like I did quite a bit, but I can't cross one thing off my list. Multitasking makes life miserable (especially for a list-maker like me), yet it's such a difficult habit to break, which is why I'm trying hard to quit it today. Okay, I'm going to try to finish cleaning the kitchen without doing anything else. Wish me luck and TGISTF.
