How MultiTasking Is Killing Men's Productivity
Let’s face it. We men just suck at multi-tasking. Heck, I
know I do and most of the time I’m really great at pretending like I'm making
progress. That’s our duty, to act like we are winning even at the worst of situations.
Granted I can focus on more than one thing at once, it’s not as though Men are
unable to look at 2 boobs at once, we can, but that’s about it. This post will tell you exactly
The problem doesn't lie with focus or even laziness. I've
seen guys spend hours trying to pick up Girls and they never ever get tired. We
are just not capable of multitasking efficiently since the time of the Cavemen.
Here’s the problem : Multitasking just creates a heck load
more work for us than anything. We start of all optimistic, taking on all these
tasks ready to beat the crap out of them but then something unexpected
(expected) happens. More tasks are
created out of the few. It’s like we magically turn a handful of cheese into a
dairy farm.
Is it Magic? Really?
No!
This is what happens when Men decide to Multi task :
- We do a half ass job at EVERYTHING. Period.
- We Rarely Ever complete any of the tasks set out.
- We become Frustrated. You know it’s true.
- We get Turned on at the most Random of things.
- We create MORE work for ourselves.
- We make a 3 step task become a 6 step task.
- We become Super Hungry and Lazy afterwards.
The list simply goes on and it doesn't get any better. See
the problem isn't actually trying to convince you to stop multi-tasking. Fair enough, you are the one taking up all
the work but there’s a greater evil power at work here. The Women in our lives.
Before I go on, some of you may start calling me out and
ranting about how you’re able to do a lot at once, if you can, kudos to you.
Sure you may be like some mutant ninja turtle but we're not judging here, All
for one and one for all, Right?
Back on topic, this isn'ta post to teach you how to
multitask. Infact, you can get a lot more done if you take on a task one by
one. You need to wash the dishes, wash the damn dishes. Don’t wash one plate,
run and sweep the kitchen then come back and wash another dish and so forth.
That’s simply insane.
Do one thing at a time, do it right.
Why would we even want to multi-task. Have you ever seen
anyone running on a treadmill and trying to write a book? No! It just doesn't
make sense to even try and do that.
Here’s a little strategy we tried and tested on women that
solves this whole multi-tasking menace of a situation:
I want you to think about the Cavemen. The women folk at
that time didn't have divorce courts and all the lingo available as our lovely
modern day women do. So what happened? Regardless of whether they were happy or
not with their beloved CaveMan, they learnt to adapt and compromise. Now,
unlike back then, there are ample desperado men lurking at every street corner.
I know because I spend a lot of time lurking…..not really no.
Nevertheless, you
need to make that lady feel as though asking you to do more than one thing is
unreasonable and no other guy can do as much as you are.
Sounds pretty sweet doesn't it. Sounds impossible but we
managed to make it possible, why? Because that’s what a MAN does. We work Hard
at wanting to be Lazy. Here’s what you’re going to do. The next time your Wife,
your girlfriend or family member commands you to do This and That, do it.
However, try to find the one MOST important
task she PERSONALLY wants completed and not do it at All.
To Sum It Up : Do
everything else but that One Really Important Task She Wants Done. When the day
comes to an end she’s either going to freak out or get pissed at you. Fine,
it’s okay and it’s a part of the plan. When she gets pissed, you get pissed as
well….but with YOURSELF.
Start
Ranting with her about yourself. Call yourself an Idiot and apologize. Act
really Upset at yourself and while you're in the midst of this, you lower your
voice a bit, in a sad but sort of cat like way throw in the following words, “
I wish I could have done Everything you asked me to do, I'm sorry. I thought I
could handle all that stuff but it overwhelmed me.”
Now it seems like you lost that battle but sub consciously
she’s going to think about what you said. It
overwhelmed me. Sub consciously, she’s going to realize that you've been
doing too much and maybe she needs to go easy on you in the future. Sooner or
later you'll notice the tasks growing less and less.
Mission Accomplished!
Men = 1 / Women = 1
Billion….we're catching up though. This technique works a lot however not
on all women unless you know them well enough to play around with the concept
till it’s mastered for that particular woman. It’s all about the mind games,
call her out and you'll be sleeping on the couch for some time buddy, make her
be the one to think as though she’s behaving like a drill sergeant and you Get
what you want.
I want to know what YOU do to be more productive. Do you
agree that us guys should not multi-task or that we should TRY to. Let me know
what you think in the comment section below and we'll work on more mind
techniques.
Best of Luck!
