I'm a Mom & Multitasking is My Superpower

Some days, particularly the very frazzled ones, I fantasize about being able to do one thing at a time. To start a task, think it through, complete it—check it off the list. (What a life I lead, where single-tasking are what my dreams are made of...)

Multitasking sometimes gets a bad rap because it may be “killing productivity" or “causing us stress," blah blah blah. Yes, those may be legitimate, valid concerns. 

BUT, moms multitask. It's how we roll.

How else would we get all the things done?

How else would we stay sane if multitasking wasn't acting as a really helpful life skill that keeps all the wheels turning?

Being a mom has given me the ability to cut through the crap and prioritize.  And we all know about this pressure on EVERY MOM that “time is more precious than ever”. 

This has now led us to, what I like to call, our superpower. 

Because of multitasking we can run businesses from our homes with babies and toddlers running and jumping and crawling on us and trying to get in on our virtual team meetings. 

Because of multitasking we can reply to that email, finish listening to a podcast while hydrating our skin with a face mask. (Is it still considered self-caring if you're multitasking while self-caring?)

Because of multitasking we can take a shower while brainstorming ideas for work while also singing 'The Wheels on the Bus' so our child doesn't yell at us. (They can be scary.)

Multi-tasking gets a bad wrap, but I do think mothers do it naturally and that extends to being able to take on more when it comes to business too.

We've got to keep wearing all our different hats. All at the same time. 

So if you want to get something done? Ask a busy person. & If you want to become a master of efficiency and running your own business? BECOME A MOM. I kid you not, (no pun intended).
