Track the length of your chore list today. You may notice a tendency to take on more tasks than you can handle. Your ability to answer emails while running errands may be impressive, but excessive multitasking can easily result in mistakes — and burnout. Debates at the watercooler or in the health food store may also get long-winded, so feel free to opt out of any conversations that distract you from your to-dos. By focusing on one project at a time, you’ll avoid scattering your mental energy.
