Maybe you
don't realize that you often do multitasking in your daily life. When I do my
housework, I do multitasking such as washing while cooking food. When I work at
office, I also do multitasking to finish my jobs because of deadline jobs. I
thought multitasking was amazing and great activity and people rare doing it.
People who are doing multitasking are able to finish many jobs properly and no
wasting time. The multitasking only able to be done by people who are already
experts with. Do you know that multitasking can give negative impact for us if
we are not able to do. Let's we are going to discuss about the multitasking and
you can share your experience here about multitasking.
We should
know that "What is the multitasking"? And, when do we usual do it?
Multitasking
is doing many jobs in same time. For example, we type paper while we are
listening to the music and calling our friend in same time. It means we do
three jobs at that time.
Last time,
when I worked specially in human resources department, I often do multitasking
because of the urgent jobs and I had deadline with short time to finish it. For
example, while I was making report about employee incentive and the phone was
ringing. And, for me picking up the phone is an obligation to provide services
to other, their calling means they need something urgent. And, spontaneous I
picked up it and without break my activity in making the report because I don't
waste my time. And, not much later, suddenly other an employee came to ask
about his health claims benefit, and this was my duty to respond him as well. I
asked him to wait in a bit. After completion of phone call, directly I found a
report about health claim benefit and give correct report about his claims. Of
course it was disturbing my work before that it didn't finish yet. And worse,
suddenly other employee came again to ask signature. All that work should I did
in same time, and I should finish it correctly, although I enjoy about it, but
sometime make me confuse and stress. From that short story at that time, I did
multitasking about :
- Making a report
- Pick up phone
- Ask employee to wait in a bit
- Check health claim benefit report and give correct information, and
- Sign a form
All of that
jobs did in same time. If we are not able to do it, may all our jobs will not
finish properly and even all of them to fail. The multitasking needs skill,
speed, accuracy and routine to do. For actually, it is an advantage for
company, may for some reason are no wasting time and no wasting cost recruit
employee. If an employee is able to do multitasking, company doesn't need to
recruit more employees and more job can be finished in short time without
waiting other team member. And, the other multitasking also is a tool for self
development and to improve the quality of work.
The other
side, do you know this is negative impact especially for people that is not
expert with, or for people are tired and boring with job. The multitasking can
make our work to fail. We don't arrange priority and urgency about it. We
assume all jobs are important and urgent, then we will do in same time, and may
it make confuse and break our idea and we cannot finish it all.
In our daily
life, more idea come and out of our mind, so it makes we confuse, wishy washy
and change our mind in a short time. Do you realize or have you had idea when you
do one job, at that time the ideas are not related with our job, moreover when
we do more than one jobs, we will not focus to finish it. The other negative
impact is stress. It can cause stress because we cannot finish properly all
jobs in same time, and of course it is a
presure for us to think how to finish its.
Three type of
multitasking use parts of the brain, there are
- The first job and the second job use the same parts of the brain. This usualy cannot do properly in same time. For example reading a book while hearing music with lyric.
- The first job and the second job use the different parts of the brain. This usually can do properly in same tim. For example reading a book while hearing instrument music.
- Each job are not disturb each other. For example reading a book while chewing gum.
So if we are
able to multitasking, let it run because it is positive to self-development and
improve our quality of work but if we are not able, please leave it, we should
arrange priority and urgensitas our job. Identify which one is high priority
and urgent, then we do it first.
