Blog 1: "How to do one thing at a time"

      The article "How to Do One Thing at a Time" is about how multi-tasking can be dangeous when people do something that needs us to focus. Also, as a result of an experiment, tested by Stanford University, multi-taskers can't do as much as single-taskers do during the same time. According to a huge amount of evidence, the auther suggested people shouldn't do more than one task at a time. I agree with the author's idea. I believe that multi-ttasking is a bad habit since i was young because it always makes us pay a lot and get less.
    
     There was a tory told to every child in China in order to explain how badly multi-tasking affected us. In the story, there were two pussy cats. One day, they were brought to fishing by their mother. Once they arrived at the river, they began fishing. The white pussy cat was focusing on fishing all the time. The black pussy cat did fishing  all the time. The black pussy cat did fishing in a different way. He was atracted by many things around him. At first , he went to play with a butterfly, then he went back to fishing .Later, his sight of view moved to a fruit tree and he went to clam it. Not until their mother decided to go home, did the black cat feel tired. He kept doing other things while fishing. At the end , he didn't  catch any fish. On the other hand, his brother ,the white cat caught a lot of fish. The story tells us when people try to do multi-tasking, they can never  get what they expect, because our hearts can't be seperated into many pieces.

     In conclusion, I think people really need to care about the bad habit of multi-tasking. It does happen in everyone's life. I think most of us missed the stop when we read books on the subway or bus. It wastes our time to back to the stop we missed and we might forget what we have read before. I suggest everyone do your work one by one and it will not make you slow down.
