Question 5

Describe the difference between multitasking and combining tasks.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

Multitasking involves trying to complete many tasks at the same time, when each task really needs full attention to be completed. An example might be a person trying to write an e-mail while talking on the phone- each task interferes with the other. Focus cannot be split effectively in this way. Combining tasks involves using the downtime of one task to complete another tasks. An example would be a person trying to make a phone call while they are riding in a bus- one of the tasks is passive and the other is active. Focus can be given to one task without impacting the other. Generally, multitasking is ineffective from an efficiency standpoint and combining tasks is effective.

Question 10

Explain the advantages of breaking your jobs into tasks.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

A job is a large goal that can be broken up into many smaller tasks. The advantage of breaking a job into a task is that each task is something you can physically do, as opposed to the job itself. Breaking a job into tasks gives automatic direction in completing an assignment, and gives more guidelines for the actual necessary steps for completing an assignment.
