You could be self-sabotaging your wealth creation efforts without even realising it! How?<\/p>\n

By doing what every other busy person investing in houses does…you multi-task.<\/p>\n

Of course, it sounds like the perfect solution. Investing in houses <\/a>is time consuming, so you double down on your multi-tasking efforts, right?<\/p>\n

Should you multi-task?<\/h2>\n

If you think of yourself as a multi-tasker, you might be surprised to learn that science says it\u2019s impossible.\"Should<\/p>\n

Psychiatrist Edward Hallowell, MD, a director of the Hallowell Center for Cognitive and Emotional Health in Sudbury, Massachusetts said that the mental effort we call multi-tasking is simply an illusion.<\/p>\n

Our brains…more specifically the cerebral cortex…is only capable of really focusing on one thing at a time. Says Hallowell, \u201cwhat people really do is shift their attention from one task to the next in rapid succession. That reduces the quality of the work on any one task, because you\u2019re ignoring it for milliseconds at a time.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

You might imagine that \u201cmilliseconds\u201d doesn\u2019t make much of a difference, but a University of Michigan study determined that the time delay between switching tasks can add up to a lot of inefficiency.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Prioritising<\/h2>\n

You\u2019ve already got a full plate. Job, family, community obligations and now investing in houses. So many things require your attention that it\u2019s a natural impulse to try to do many things at once.<\/p>\n

I know. If multi-tasking is inefficient, how can you possibly consider adding investing in houses to your already long to-do list?<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how:<\/p>\n

Expert tips:<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Pair those tasks which require judgment (e.g. talking on the phone) and\/or decision making with physical, repetitive tasks (e.g. folding clothes).\"Get<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Why? Because each of these tasks uses a different part of the brain.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Get adequate sleep…your brain will thank you.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. Spend less time looking at screens, whether it\u2019s your computer, your phone, or a television…give your mind a rest.<\/li>\n
      2. Spend your time doing more of those things that matter the most to you and you won\u2019t be easily sidetracked from reaching your goals.<\/li>\n
      3. Make a commitment and stick with it. Choose what task needs to be done and do it. You don\u2019t have to necessarily finish it before moving onto the next one, but pay complete attention to each task you choose to do, during the time you have allotted to work on it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Take for example, investing in houses.<\/p>\n

        You obviously can\u2019t jump straight away into owning an investment property, you\u2019ve got to commit smaller tasks along the way. Work on each particular task for a set time each day and before you know it, you\u2019ll have achieved your goals.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Train your brain to really focus. If you\u2019ve ever met someone then straight away forgotten their name, your mind was distracted, not focused on the task at hand.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Work on improving your concentration, staying engaged with the \u201chere and now\u201d. You\u2019ll be surprised at how much this one thing can improve your life.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. When you have a sudden thought come to mind – that has nothing to do with your current task – write it in a central location which you can access at a later time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            This will help you stay focused on the task at hand.\"Say<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Separate yourself. Let others know you are focused on something and not to be disturbed. Put your gadgets on silent or even shut them off (if possible) to help you stay focused on what needs to be done.<\/li>\n
            2. When possible, organise all of your similar tasks so that they can be done one right after the other. For example, set aside a specific time to answer all of your emails, social media messages, etc. \u00a0Don\u2019t work on any of these tasks outside of the particular time segment(s) you\u2019ve assigned them.<\/li>\n
            3. Say no and say it a lot.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              You\u2019re one person. Don\u2019t be unrealistic with your schedule or yourself. Do only those things which must be done and those things which add to your life.<\/p>\n

               <\/p>\n

              If you\u2019ve decided that investing in houses is for you, don\u2019t let yourself get overwhelmed by everything you\u2019ve got to learn and to do.<\/p>\n

              Get help from others who have been investing in houses longer than you and focus your efforts on learning and doing one thing at a time.<\/p>\n

              Your future self will thank you.<\/p>\n
