Rapidtasking

After reading this article we should rather call multitasking as rapidtaskshifting or rapidshifttasking. Whatever, but it is the science that says we cannot really multitask, we just shift focus at several tasks rapidly. Let's just call it from now on rapidtasking.

Anyway, I found myself doing rapidtasking again at the store, now that the economy is going normal, let's pray thus that it may continue. And taken a bit surprised that after 3 years of pandemic-laden economy of slow sales, I still have that capacity to rapidtask, you just have to believe that you can, depending on how badly you need rapidtasking to serve your customers (believing that even the saints bilocated to serve others as we've said before).

So there goes my reminder to all of us to look the person in the eye in my previous article, and then this rapidtasking which comes in handy.

While giving one customer his goods, he suddenly shifted into storytelling mode, and then three more customers came at once demanding.

While giving these latter three customers their need, I was listening and chatting casually with the storyteller. I wonder how I did it gracefully by the mercy of God without any impatience.

Padre Pio, pray for us.

Side note:

Being a polymath is a related but different thing though which can add to your career survival. If you're reading this, most probably you're like me who has lots of interests in life. Then read this article, so that you might understand too that it is not a curse but a blessing that we should cultivate.

ChatGPT conversation:

Me: Good day! I have a question. Is multitasking the same as being a polymath?

ChatGPT: No, multitasking refers to the ability to perform multiple tasks simultaneously, while a polymath is someone who has expertise in multiple fields or disciplines. It is possible for a polymath to multitask, but they are not the same thing. Multitasking is a skill that can be developed, while a polymath typically has a natural inclination and aptitude for many different subjects.

Me: Thank you very much.

ChatGPT: You're welcome! Let me know if you have any other questions.
