to-do list

Priority list / Prioritetlista

~ au ~ 1 Comment

One thing that came up as a revelation for me when I read the blog of Förvaringsdrottningen was that I actually never wrote a “to-do” list for things I should do or things that get me annoyed in my apartment. Considering the time we spend in the apartment and how annoying things can be it is maybe a great place to start organizing our life at home first. Since, we are moving to a new city and a bigger apartment I have great opportunity for changing things and here are few things that I will have very high up on my priority list

  1. Have a place where my “to-do” list is visible!
  2. clear my and Ada´s closet
  3. clear my book shelf (get rid of books that I find boring)
  4. clear out our pantry
  5. clear out stuff in general that are just around with no function
  6. clear out my bags
  7. Pack for moving -> New city, new apartment
  8. Move in fast. With that I mean that I do not want to spend 2 years looking for furniture or looking at my windows having no curtains, because of lack of proper drill or something like that. If I need to I´ll rather get professional help for furnishing the apartment (well depends on the price )

Kad sam čitala blog od Förvaringsdrottningen skontala sam da nikad nisam pisala ”to-do”-liste gdje piše šta trebam u stanu uraditi ili šta mi smeta u stanu. Kad razmislim malo i skontam koliko vremena provodimo u stanu/ kući i kako nam to puno znači za psihičko zdravlje onda smatram da je ustvari dom pravo mjesto za početak reorganiziranje svog života. Kako se uskoro selimo u novi grad I u veći stan meni je to savršena prilika da promijenim stvari i upravo sam zapisala par stvari koje stoje visoko na mojoj prioritetlisti.

  1. Pronaći mjesto gdje mi je lista na oku da je uvijek vidim!
  2. Raščistiti Adinu i moju garderobu
  3. Raščistiti knjige (riješiti se dosadnih knjiga)
  4. Špajzu rastribiti
  5. Izbacati stvari iz stana koje nemaju funkciju ili koje su stare
  6. Rastribiti tašne
  7. Pakovat za selidbu
  8. Brzo se useliti. Neću da 2 godine tražim namještaj koji paše ili gledati prozore bez zavjesa zato što nije bilo tačne bušilice. Ili slike koje stoje i nikad nisu obješene na zid. Radije ću profesionalce platiti da mi to sve urade nego da mi kutije stoje 2 godine u hodnik

Multitasking

~ au ~ 5 Comments

Is multitasking the new way of becoming inefficient? The whole time I am reading in papers, watching TV , listening to the radio and all of them are making a hype of this fantastic thing multitasking. We are a multitasking generation. We try to do multiple tasks at once. At work we try to finish phone calls as we read or write mails, at home we try to take care of the children as we finish of bills, (or read something at our smartphones), we listen to a person explaining something to us while we are solving another problem and so on. But is it really good for us to be multitasking? Is it possible at all?
Actually, studies show that multitasking is not beneficial for your brain. Many researchers believe that when the brain works at a given task, it creates a sort of “bottleneck” where the brain will ideally take a moment to plan before approaching a given task. However, when people attempt to juggle multiple tasks at once, the brain needs to restart and refocus with each given task, thus leaving greater room for error with each new addition to the cognitive workload.

One thing we should remember is that we are not machines. We cannot process several “programs” at once. So instead of multitasking try to start streamlining your work habits. People use the to do list to write down all the tasks we are supposed to do…ever,  but try to make a manageable “to do”- list and turn it in a “today”-list with all the tasks you are supposed to do in one day. This helps you strain yourself and avoid over-tasking and you will manage to devote your focus, time and energy efficiently one task at a time…Good luck 😀multitasking-is-making-you-dumb-infographic

Je li multitasking novi način da postanemo neefikasni? (Koliko god razmisljam ne mogu da se sjetim rijec multitasking (izvrsavati vise zadataka istovremeno) na bosanskom. Da li to uopste postoji kod nas? :D)
Cijelo vrijeme čitam u novinama, gledam na TV, slušam radio i bas svi spominju multitasking kao jednu fantastičnu stvar.
Mi smo jedna ”multitasking” generacija. Pokušavamo učiniti sto više zadataka odjednom. Na poslu se trudimo da završimo telefonske pozive dok citamo ili pisemo mailove, kod kuće pokušavamo da se brinemo o djeci dok rijesavamo račune (ili čitamo nešto (kao) pametno na telefonima), slušamo osobu sto nesto objašnjava a u sebi razmisljamo  kako drugi problem rijesiti i tako dalje.  

Dali je stvarno dobro za nas da budemo ”multitasking”? Da li je moguće istovremeno vise zadataka rijesavati?

Istraživanja pokazuju da multitasking uopste nije korisno za ljudski mozak. Mnogi istraživači smatraju da kada mozak radi na jednom datom zadatku, taj proces stvara neku vrstu “uskog grla” gdje je mozgu potreban trenutak planiranja prije nego što se zada novom zadatku. Međutim, kada ljudi pokušavaju da žongliraju sa više zadataka odjednom, mozgu treba vremena i energije da se ponovo ”pokrene” i refokusira na svakom novom zadatom zadatku, ostavljajući tako više prostora za greške sa svakim novim kognitivnim opterećenjem. 

Jednu stvar koju trebamo zapamtiti je da nismo masine. Ne možemo istovremeno obradjivati vise”programa/zadataka”. Dakle, umjesto da istovremeno radimo vise zadataka, eksperti predlažu da uradimo ”racionalizaciju” naše radne navike. Ljudi koriste “to-do” (za-uraditi) liste da napišu sve moguce zadatke koje trebaju uraditi, umjesto da pokušaju napraviti jednu realnu “za-uraditi” – listu i pretvoriti je u “danas” –listu sa samo tim zadacima koje mogu u jednom danu zavrsiti. Ovo, kazu eksperti, pomaže da ne pretjeras i tako izbjegnes da na sebe preuzimes previse zadataka da radis. Samim tim se uspjes fokusirati, iskoristiti svoje vrijeme i energiju efikasno tako sto jedan po jedan zadatak zavrsavas….Odoh sad svoju listu da pisem 🙂39cf911
