Doing TOO much at the same time

Nowadays we tend to be doing so much. Time seems short and seems like it is getting shorter and shorter as the years go by. The other day I caught myself doing several things at once. It amazed me when I realized it. Ahhhhhhhhhh! - Multitasking has taken over.

It happened to be a Saturday. I had woken up early, maybe because I was worried about all the things I had to accomplish and simply woke up early although I had set up the alarm clock pretty early for a Saturday. I had breakfast and checked my social networks like I do every morning and meanwhile I was watching an interview with a writer on TV. Three or four different activities at once: eating, reading, writing, watching and soaking in all the info; my mistake, five different activities. It makes you wonder what a powerful organ the brain is. However, I could name a couple of people who do not have this skill of doing multiple tasks at the same time.

After having done this, the TV program changed and I decided to correct some tests; once again, multiple tasks.  You’d think that taking a walk in the park afterwards would slow down the mind. Walking and observing, taking pictures, posting them and thinking of a theme to write about for my blog; still doing more than one thing at a time.

All of this just leads us to today’s number one problem: Stress.

Any tips on how to reduce this stress?
