What if I gave up multi-tasking, would I feel better? All of us do it. We try to simultaneously juggle multiple tasks. It can be stressful keeping so many balls in the air. What if I did one task at a time, completed it, and moved on to the next task. I may feel like I am walking in slow motion, yet the opposite may be true. As we complete each task and move on to the next, we get a strong sense of accomplishment without adding excess stress.
