I think you are right. Multitasking is about getting things done, but it comes at the cost of being fulfilled. To me it is difficult to concentrate on many things and still be content and satisfied with the work. Marguerite, thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. I think you are right.

You are right about concentration, especially if the activity has a high skill element that matches my personal abilities. When I'm concentrating in something I love to do, such as writing a post on my blog, I'm in the present moment. When I'm in the present moment I loose track of time. When I'm done with the post I'm feeling completely fulfilled. So the feeling of fulfillment comes after the concentration. I'm not sure how people can say that they are productive multitasking. I recently read that the youngest generation is able to do that and be effective. For me, concentrating on the task at hand is the most productive approach. Thanks for your contribution to Flow and for following me on Twitter. Tom, I read the book and it had great impact on me.
