How to Get More Done in a Day

I’m an expert multi-tasker.

In fact, I’m so used to multi-tasking that I sometimes find it difficult to do only one thing at a time.

If one of my kids asks me to watch a show with them, I’ll want to be folding laundry or doing some other task at the same time.

My mindset lends toward getting stuff done.

And it can be a good thing.

After all, there’s a lot to do …

Especially if you’re a parent or someone who works from home as well as commutes to a “normal” job.

Let’s face it, as many things as we have to make life easier, life is still really busy.

And when life is busy and there’s tons of work to do, multi-tasking can be a good thing.

But it’s not always the best way to get more done in a day!

When I was a young teen, I watched a movie.

You might have seen it too; it’s called Brother Sun, Sister Moon.

Scene from “Brother Sun, Sister Moon”

It’s a fascinating and moving film about the early life of Saint Francis of Assisi and his spiritual journey.

One of the most memorable things about the movie is the music …

Specifically, the songs.
