You cannot chase two rabbits at the same time

There is always that one or two week period in each term where we are all stockpiled with work and we run around like headless chickens trying to meet our numerous deadlines. Such is life for  university students. Lord knows how many nights I stay up trying to finish my work. It can all get a bit much, especially if you are taking on more than one task at a time.

The old Native American saying, “You cannot chase two rabbits at the same time” is true if you are incapable of multi-tasking, which is not possible if you are a fourth year PR student. We have to multi-task to keep up with our various subjects and often we have more than one big deadline to meet on the same day. No doubt this is what the PR world is all about.

I believe multi-tasking is a good skill to learn as it will be helpful in many scenarios, both in the workplace and at home. Unfortunately, men may have to work harder to master this skill.... All jokes aside, the problem with multi-tasking is the danger of losing focus, which undoubtedly affects end results. As impossible as it is to catch two rabbits at the same time, it is just as impossible to achieve the best possible outcomes if you take on two many tasks at the same time. So remember to prioritise and focus on one task at a time. If you do this, you will be able to achieve the best possible outcomes in all scenarios. But by all means, if you feel you are a capable multi-tasker... go right ahead!
