What are some good strategies to multitask?

One most effectively works when one can focus. The problem with multitasking is that it works against our ability to focus by changing what we focus on.\n\nAn analogy from computers; they "multitask" by changing what they do really quickly. When tasks are changed a context switch happens where the computer stores and restores the state of the CPU for each of these tasks. This switching is computationally intensive, so we don't want this to happen to often, just often enough where we have the illusion that everything is happening at once.\n\nThe same happens when a human multitasks. A "context switch", in this case, is the loss and restoration of focus.\n\nThe best way to multiask then is:\n1) Only multitask when necessary.\n2) Find efficient grandularity. Work on each thing for an alloted amount of time focusing on just that (this time should depend on a) what works for you; b) the situation).\n3) Improve focusing techniques.

Limits to the Traditional Time Management Approach\n\n"You can gain extra minutes and even hours every day by following these tips from a time management expert," the article in the tabloid newspaper announces. (You know the kind of paper I'm talking about, the kind nobody reads, let alone buys, but that somehow boasts a paid circulation in the millions.)\nAmong these tips from the expert, Lucy Hedrick, author of 365 Ways to Save Time:\n\n"If you don't have time for reading, letter-writing, cooking or exercising, get up earlier in the morning."\nThat seems to be a favorite solution. Other experts, the ones who study sleep, estimate that Americans are now getting 60 to 90 minutes less sleep each night than they did 10 to 15 years ago. (Again, more on the vital topic of snoozing in a later chapter.)\n\n"Keep your breakfast fast and simple. Try a 'blender breakfast' consisting of a banana, fruit juice, granola and a dash of honey."\n"If your bathtub needs a cleaning, do it during your shower. You can scrub as you finish washing or while your hair conditioner is working."\nI could do those things. I could make up a huge pitcher of "blender breakfast" and keep it in a cooler in my car, so I could drink it on the way to work.\n\nI could take a water-proof tape player into the shower with me, so I could listen to a self-help tape (preferably on one of those compressed players that takes the "dead air" pauses out) while I'm going at the grouting with my toothbrush. I suppose I could even wear my clothes into the shower, like the protagonist in Anne Tyler's marvelous novel, The Accidental Tourist, so I could wash my duds while I showered, grouted, and listened.

First things first. I personally do my things according to how important the thing/project is. Then I go one at a time with a faster pace - fast enough not to make mistakes otherwise, I have to redo it and it is obviously a waste of time already spent. Everything is important so make a list of the ones thats due sooner. Make A to do list and check them out soon as you are done. Just calm down and focus.

Be flexible and have plan A, B, C and D. If something comes up which interrupts Plan A, switch immediately to either B, C or D which fits the bill. That way, at least you do accomplish something and get it out of the way. And you can always come back to Plan A later. That's what I always do when I was a Vice President of Technologies. I always have to run around doing various meetings, solving different issues and getting my own errands done. Always keep in your mind on a daily basis what needs to get done for the day, and you WILL indeed get them DONE if you put your mind and determination into them!! It WORKS (!) for me, and I am sure it will for you if you are trying to manage your time (Time Management) effectively. G'luck!

Make a list and prioritize it.  Focus on the things that you really need to get done as deadlines approach.\n\nBut don't forget to schedule a little "me time" too.

Divide tasks into small, easy to do parts. Also try to ignore the things that disturb you, ie: TV, Computer (if you can help it), iPod, ect.\n\nHere is an example how to divide the tasks into smaller parts. Let's say we have a report due in 1 week. Here is a made-up schedule:\n\nDay 1\n-Find information for 30 minutes\n\nDay 2\n-Find information for 30 minutes\n\nDay 3\n-Write rough draft for 30 minutes\n\nDay 4\n-Finish rough draft\n\nDay 5\n-Write Final Copy for 30 minutes\n\nDay 6\n-Finish final copy\n\nDay 7\n-Relax\n\nBy doing a little work each day, I find it to make things easy in the long run. I think that working for about 30 minutes a day will not be tiring, but you will still get quite a bit done.

Time is of the essence.See if any jobs will help another job on your to-do hot list even if one has a lower priority.I really need more info.When you say "pressure" do you mean social pressure or management pressure or time scheduling.With time management try and identify where any potential bottlenecks might occur,inform your contacts in advance that there may be delays in fulfilling obligations.With time sensitive issues then you really have no choice but to do them in date order and work like heck to clear them through your admin. system,even if it seems like there's a bigger job to tackle.In my experience of being faced with a ton load of to-do jobs all requiring "immediate action" then i 1)write a list of them.2)see which ones can be resolved quickest or simplest3)see what has to be sorted by a specific date.In future keep a tighter grip on your timeline so that you can foresee and prepare for any work holdups.

it's all depend on you computer configuration, your connection.\nif you have a fast cpu or even dual core with lots of RAM, you can be multi tasking

Multiprogramming increases CPU utilization by organizing jobs (code and data) so that the CPU always has one to execute.\n\nTimesharing (or multitasking) is a logical extension of multiprogramming.  In time-sharing systems, the CPU executes multiple jobs by switching among them, but the switches occur so frequently that the users can interact with each program while it is running.

Maybe you have to make a list - could be a form of ADD.  I know I get doing things and get distracted too.  As long as you get the important stuff done.

Your processor could have Hyperthreading enabled, which treats one processor as two, and helps speed up multitasking.\n\n\nps) What processor do you have?  Mine only shows one graph, and I know I don't have hyperthreading.  Is it a newer intel processor?
