Multi-tasking...you either love it or hate it...you either think you can be really productive with it or it only makes tasks more difficult. While I could (and may!) write a whole article about it for my ezine, I have one specific instance of productive multi-tasking to relate...and I am the beneficiary!
I was presenting 0 to 6 in 5 last week to Chix in Business. I knew that my friend, Stefanie Zizzo, had been waiting to hear me speak on this topic for quite some time. As a Career and Life Coach, she has a real interest in the topic. Knowing her enthusiasm, I asked if she would write a quote subsequent to my talk which I could use in a press release about the event. Not only did she write the quote, but she also posted it as a recommendation on LinkedIn. I was surprised and pleased at the bonus. But then again, Stefanie understands the benefits of recommendations and of saving time...after writing the quote, she just had to cut and paste it into my LinkedIn profile.
Some of you may claim that this isn't really multi-tasking. But I think that it is. For the time it took her to write one recommendation (+ maybe one extra minute to post it to LinkedIn), I received a twofer.
So the question is, how can you multi-task productively today? Let me know!
