The Multitasker
"Why do one thing when you can do three at the same time?"
You’re always doing something — or many somethings — but that doesn’t always mean you’re doing the right things. You jump from task to task like it’s a game of productivity pinball: bouncing between projects, Slack messages, tabs, and to-do lists.
You’ve got plenty of energy and enthusiasm, but it’s often scattered across too many open loops. Planning? Not your favourite. Prioritising? Nearly impossible. You prefer to act first and think later — but that can leave you chasing everything and finishing nothing.
Deep down, you want to focus — you really do. But with so many ideas, responsibilities, and distractions, it’s hard to decide where to land. You’re juggling a dozen things at once and still wondering which one is actually moving you forward.

Growth Tips
Multitasking feels productive, but deep focus is where progress happens. Start your day with just one clear priority, then go wild with the rest once that’s done.
Strategies That Work for You
Pomodoro Technique
Short, focused work sprints followed by built-in breaks give your brain a rhythm. The time limit adds urgency, but the breaks give permission to reset — perfect for your task-switching style. You can channel your natural energy into 25-minute bursts, then bounce to something else without guilt.
Multitaskers need to see what’s in progress to stay grounded. A Kanban board (digital or sticky notes) turns your mental juggling into a visual system:
- “To Do”
- “Doing”
- “Done” Moving tasks across columns helps you finish what you start — and resist jumping to something new too soon
