Separating work from play may not seem like that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things, but when you dive into it, not being 100% focused on your work can prevent you from maximizing your time. In this week’s episode, we discuss how to prevent yourself from multitasking. We also discuss making sure that you stay focused on your work while still allowing time to relax.

When you work you work when you play you play.

Multitasking while working adds a roughly 33% increase in the amount of time it takes you to do something, work or not. Make sure to separate work and play and try not to mix the two, otherwise you may seem unmotivated to your coworkers or bosses and you will be losing valuable time for work and other activities. Stay focused at work, but remember to allow yourself time for relaxation afterward!
