Don't Multitask
Multitasking means doing 2 or more tasks at once. This often happens when we are using our phones and computers. When you start working on something, stay focused until it’s completed. If you find yourself getting distracted by something else, tell yourself “no distractions!” and stop what you’re currently doing. You can always go back to where you were if you need to make sure everything is done correctly.
