How to Stay Focused If You’re Working on Multiple Projects

Summary 
Most of us are juggling multiple teams at once. In theory, this system of “multiteaming” offers a number of upsides: You can deploy your expertise exactly where and when it’s most needed, share your knowledge across groups, and switch projects during lull times. The reality, though, is a lot more complicated. You’ve probably experienced some of the challenges of multiteaming — some of the most common include how to manage your time, stress, and development. To better manage your time, try prioritizing and sequencing your work. To better manage your stress, try setting and communicating expectations. And to better optimize your development, try blocking out time for actual learning.


Prioritizing and Sequencing Your Work

1) Protect yourself. When you’re focused on a high-priority task, buy yourself a mental escape from unnecessary intrusions.

2) Document and communicate progress.

Set Time for Real Learning

1) Know thyself. You need to know thyself first. Is it to make good decisions — decisions that are right for you? If you know yourself better, you know when to react or not, It can lead you to be develop social awareness

2) You need to own your development goals and your progress toward them. Figure out who else on the team you want exposure to.

3) Make your development goals explicit, to both your team leader and those experts.

4) Force thyself. After identifying your development goals, block out time for actual learning.

5) You need to intentionally and explicitly schedule time for reflection.

Let me know what is your story on how you handle when you work on multiple projects or with multiple clients.

Sequence strategically. Pick one task and focus on it intensely, rather than juggling. Start with the task that requires the greatest concentration and give it your undivided attention. Decide on a distinct set of must-achieve outcomes, define which actions are necessary to achieve only those results, and ruthlessly stick to them. Research shows that attention residue — thoughts held over from a project you’re transitioning from — takes up valuable mental space, so the fewer switches you can make in a given day, the better. If you must multitask, then coordinate and group any compatible duties. For example, if you know you are going to need to answer phone calls at random intervals, work on another task that can be interrupted at any time.

Why Modern Relationships Are Falling Apart

Why Modern Relationships Are Falling Apart - Contributed Article - Heart Hackers Club - modern relationships - cloudM New York Bowery Why are modern relationships so hard today? Why do we fail at love every time, despite trying so hard? Why have humans suddenly become so inept at making relationships last? Have we forgotten how to love? Or worse, forgotten what love is? We’re not prepared. We’re not prepared for the sacrifices, for the compromises, for the unconditional love. We’re not ready to invest all that it takes to make modern relationships work. We want everything easy. We’re quitters. All it takes is a single hurdle to make us crumble to our feet. We don’t let our love grow, we let go before time. It’s not love we’re looking for, only excitement and thrill in life. We want someone to watch movies and party with, not someone who understands us even in our deepest silences. We spend time together, we don’t make memories. We don’t want the boring life. We don’t want a...

Nutrition, health, and food are three interconnected topics that are essential for our well-being. The food we eat has a direct impact on our health, and our nutritional choices can either promote or undermine our overall health and well-being. In this essay, we will explore some of the key lessons from books of nutrition, health, and food. One of the most important lessons of nutrition is the importance of a balanced diet. A balanced diet is one that provides all the essential nutrients that our bodies need to function properly, including carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. A balanced diet should also be varied, with a wide range of different foods from different food groups, to ensure that we get all the nutrients we need. Another key lesson of nutrition is the importance of portion control. Even healthy foods can be unhealthy if we eat too much of them, and portion control is essential for maintaining a healthy weight and preventing chronic diseases su...

As i am introvert

   Being an Introvert is not a Sin Being the silent     observer in a chaotic world  In a world that often values outgoing and extroverted personalities, it can be easy for introverts to feel like they don't quite fit in. They may be told that they need to speak up more, socialize more often, or simply "come out of their shell." But the truth is, being introverted is not a sin, and it's nothing to be ashamed of. Introverts often possess a wealth of unique strengths and characteristics that are valuable in both personal and professional settings. For example, they may be excellent listeners, thoughtful observers, and deep thinkers. They may also have a strong sense of empathy, which can help them connect with others on a deep level. Contrary to popular belief, introverts aren’t necessarily shy or anti-social. They simply prefer to spend their time in a different way than their extroverted counterparts. While extroverts may thrive in large social ...
