After 25 years as a journalist and 15 as a talk
show host, I have come to the conclusion
that
PEOPLE ARE DYING TO BE HEARD,
and that we all need to listen better to each
other. Today's society says that in order to keep
up with global trends, we have to multi-task. I say
we're being sold a bill of goods that we shouldn't
buy. We can't do it all. It's just impossible. And
while we can watch TV and read a book at the same
time, we can't do either well.
To do your best, you need to focus your thoughts. You need to listen to your kids. You need to free your mind of all the clutter and really hear your client, co-worker, boss or spouse. You need to take the time to focus on one person or task at a time. I call this ability to focus: Uni-Tasking.
