1. Recognizing that multitasking has its limits.
Women have always been perceived as excellent multi-taskers, but is it true? Unfortunately, studies show that women are actually doing a whole lot of work and getting burnt out. A study even proves that women are not better at multi-tasking when compared to men. Surprising, isn’t it?
- “Women are more pushed into types of work with many low-intensity things going on simultaneously, whereas men are trained to do one thing and do this thing perfectly, with full concentration. A part of the difference might be evolutionary, but I’d expect most of it to be cultural.”
In this case, here’s what women can learn from men: No one is a superhero and is capable of doing an enormous amount of work all at once. Instead, work, family, and household tasks must be equally shared in order for everyone to have a healthy, sustainable mind and body.
What are other lessons women should learn from men? What is your favorite and what is the one tip you feel you should embrace?
