Carlos Hurtarte, time management specialist, says that good organization allows two things: have a short, medium and long term focus and have control of the day and what is done.
“There is a golden rule that I use in time management and that is that Today’s activities are alive when they aim at long-term resultsotherwise one is just “getting the task done” for the day without it having any value,” says Hurtarte.
The danger of “Multitasking”
The use of technology is inevitable. Hurtarte says that, without her, we are “out of place”but warns thatMisuse of it can cause distractions, or fall into “multitasking.”which is focusing on several tasks at the same time.
“Multitasking is actually a bad version of what a person who can do many things at the same time is.. This is because, by multitasking, you lose the long-term vision, so you start doing four or even five things and in the end you are not in any of them,” says the specialist.
Therefore, he says that “It is much wiser for one to fall into occupational matters and not productivity.“, that is, dedicating time, concentration and attention to a specific task instead of wanting to do many things at the same time.
