🌷 Multitasking, Is It Worthwhile ?
Poetess : Tilottama Vijay Lele

Often we do two or three things at once
Without even realising it as negligence

While walking we listen to some music
We eat n watch something on TV-Netflix

We drink our Tea n coffee while scrolling
We read emails when someone's talking

When simultaneously we do 2-3 things,
We're not focusing primarily on anything

In disguise of getting more done,
We end up splitting focus n attention…

We're doing each activity half hazardly
Not paying attention to any activity fully

Probably we're not giving justice,
To any of d actions, only wasting time

Probably only One thing at a time
Is a good enough policy to survive…

Yesterday, went for my evening walk
Without putting on a playlist of Podcast

At first, it felt a little unusual.
But Li'l later I thought it was enjoyable

Musical walk-n-listen, is my usual thing
So yesterday felt like “something missing”

After few minutes, started noticing things
That normally wouldn’t draw my attention

In d garden, gardener was busy working
N people sitting outside, were talking.

Der was sound of footsteps behind me.
Tree-leaves moving in d evening breeze

Though not dramatic, all just small things
As if nothing was worth remembering.

But as I was truly focusing n observing,
I was actually in it, totally enjoying…

Otherwise we don’t enjoy any activity,
We complete each one, for d sake of it

We create many errors in d process
Miss out obvious details n elevate stress

If we actively want to do something,
We should really enjoy it while doing…

Otherwise we’re merely multitasking,
N wasting our valuable productive time
