Forget Multitasking Try Simultaneous Inclusion
I love this. I just came across a blurb on a new book called The One Who Is Not Busy by Darlene Cohen.
Cohen, a 30-year practicing Zen Buddhist, seminar leader and counselor, examines the concepts of multitasking and the pandemic of “busyness” from a Buddhist perspective. She explains that the problem with multitasking is the lack of presence. In other words, you’re working on one task but thinking about another.
That is often the problem I have. Even when I am religiously following my Simpleology system for the day, I am aware of the tasks I have coming up even as I am working on something else.
The practice of Simultaneous Inclusion is the practice of presence. Think The Power of Now applied to business.
I can’t wait to get the book. I ordered it yesterday and Amazon shipped it out today. You know I’ll be diving into this one as soon as it gets here. I will definitely give you an update after I read it.
