This workshop unravels the myth of multitasking. Research shows that there is no such thing as multitasking. Actually, we switch from task to task all the time. We call this switch-tasking. And you pay a hefty price for switch-tasking. Through interactive exercises, participants become aware of the costs of switch-tasking:
-40% less productive
-3-4 times more errors
-time-consuming
-stress increasing
-half attention to your relationship (work and private)
-energy guzzling.
-it inhibits creativity and innovative capacity.
In collaboration with scientists from the UvA, the VU and the UU, Wouter Hesseling has been researching multitasking and hyperconnectivity (being constantly online) for years. In an inspired manner, Wouter talks about the price you pay for multitasking (switch-tasking). Soon even the most skeptical listener is hanging on his every word.
An introduction and some interactive exercises are followed by a short powerful show with more than ten spinning plates. After this, the participants get to work themselves. While they get to spin real breakable plates on steel pins, they have to find the focus to get several spoons into different glasses in one motion. People become aware of what switch-tasking does to them and can take advantage of it later, at work but also privately.
The best thing would be to monotask (finish something before you start something new), but in this world it is almost demanded of you to multitask. During the workshop and during the evaluation, participants are given tips on how, if they do switch-task, they can do this as efficiently as possible.
Results:
During this workshop 'Multitasking does not exist' (45- 120 minutes) the participants learn the difference between multitasking, switchtasking and monotasking and experience what it does to them.
This will ultimately provide participants with a structured way of working, better choices in their approach and more peace of mind. This new way of working will result in higher efficiency (net working time is greater), more productivity (more focus), maximum customer focus (the customer gets full attention) and less work pressure.
