I’m not quite sure how to feel
about this video. First, I couldn’t really understand the man due to the
language barrier. Second, his mustache was very distracting and I could
honestly only focus on the fixture of hair taking over his face. Last, it took
me a while to understand his personality.
Although
this video was another unappealing TED talk video I decided to actually go
through with the challenge of monotasking. My task was brewing a mug of coffee.
In the beginning I noted to myself that this was not very different from my
usual coffee brewing, but as I kept up with this task I noticed some strawberry
flavored milk straws and it led me to grab a couple of milk. In the midst of
grabbing this milk I stopped myself and realized that I had almost broken my
pact to monotask. As I strayed away from the milk and back to brewing my coffee
I grew extremely anxious to grab my milk. I was very surprised. I thought that
instead of feeling anxious about monotasking I would actually take in how
peaceful and simple brewing coffee was. Overall I did not enjoy monotasking. I
think in the future when I have more time I will actually try to do a monotask
with more depth and see how it affects me.
The idea of monotasking is actually
very complex, but it sounds so simple. I disagree that the people of the world
should try to monotask. As a society have evolved technologically, thus
allowing us to have the opportunity to multi task. We have access to multiple
devices and apps that can be beneficial to our everyday lives. I do think that monotasking
a little bit might be a nice change for some people though because I do know a
lot of people who are too involved in technology and less involved in the world
around them.
