Less Hustle, More JesusЗразок

One Thing Well

Are you a multi-tasker? It sounds like a great idea. Knocking two or three things off the list in record time? Yes, please! Maybe it’s shopping online while cooking dinner, folding laundry, and somehow binge-watching your favorite shows all at once. Whatever kind of juggling you’ve got going on, it’s probably pretty impressive. But did you know that our brains can’t effectively switch between tasks after all? Studies have shown that we lose more time by making frequent mistakes, we don’t retain as much, we become more forgetful, and our relationships suffer. Seems we’re wired by our Creator to do one thing well at a time. Why not try simplifying a bit? It may seem very uncomfortable at first, but you might find that you enjoy being more present and less scattered. Just ask the One who made you to show you where to start.

Prayer:  

It’s hard to imagine slowing down sometimes, Jesus, but I know that all things are possible with You! Help me to simplify and be present in all I do. Amen.
