Do you multitask?
To me, this is a bad habit of mine that I will not throw away any time soon. Sometimes it works perfectly when dealing with tasks that require different level of focusing. I consider three tasks at one time doable (and normal, for me). Read once before that the more you do, the more your focus will be divided (=less for each task) so doing more tasks might not be beneficial.
LOL.. why do I sound like the beginning of a How-to article?
Not doing that. This topic just came up in my mind at noon. I don't really like multitasking but it helps getting things done efficiently. As long as it's a reasonable number of tasks. The real challenge is when you're "changing gear" back and forth from multitasking to being focused on one thing. I get distracted easily at times but there are moments where I get into the zone. I think going back to reading physical books regularly this year helped me develop back that focus-on-one thing. At first, it was hard to read for a long period of time. I think I'm better at that now, months later... but probably not as good as before [the reading slump].
Hours later...
Was checking this before publishing and the part "don't really like multitasking" is bugging me. I don't particularly hate it. I just don't like that I'll have less focus when I do more than three tasks. I think I'd come to embrace and like it when I multitasked at work (the job really required the skill if you want to get anything done *sigh*). I guess I only like multitasking when it works (advantageous & efficient) ...? Since doing too much at one time beats the purpose (I might make more careless mistakes). I'm more a fan of being able to switch between those two smoothly because each has its own uses.
On an average day, you're quite happy, together, and content. You live your life well.
Your emotions aren't always stable, but you can go along with the ups and downs pretty well.
You tend to be motivated, energetic, focused, and level headed.
You see the world pretty rationally, and you don't tend to over dramatize things. When things are bad, you know they eventually have to get better.
