Before jobs really focus on just one or two aspects in a work. Nowadays jobs are getting more demanding and most of the time you do more than one thing at the same time. Just like me I do data entry, client engagement, and translation in my job and this has left me most of the time confused and not being able to do much work in little time. So tell me how do you cope with multitasking?

I like multitasking, it's awakening. Even though at times it's stressful, and looking back I did moan about having too much on my plate. But the fact is I loved being really busy, my mind loved it and at the end of the day I felt I had really accomplished something. Now when work is too slow it is boring.

It seems jobs nowdays require a lot more effort since one person is suppose to do what three people used to do. I work in a daycare, I am suppose to cook from 8a.m. to 12p.m., watch kids while the other people have breaks from 12-2, and then do snacks from 2-3 and then watch kids again from 3-4, all without a break. Sometimes is gets really hectic, especially when we are short a couple of people. I just do what I can do and not worry about the rest.
