Power of Slow

CTV news wrote a piece about Harvard Business School blogger Peter Bregman who embarked on a single-tasking experiment after a series of multitasking blunders. He tried to craft an email while on a conference call with a board member, who asked him a question. When the board member received no response, the situation got awkward.

Peter swore off multitasking for a week.

Here’s what he found.

• Delight.

• Enhanced productivity.

• More patience for the ‘useful things’ in life.

• Reduced stress levels.

• More protective of the time he spends.

• He looked into his personal bank account of time and smiled.

• No downside.

• More energy.

• More focus.

• He literally saw the leaves on the trees and felt a rush of gratitude.

Slow works.

Time to celebrate!
