Some people may think that people should focus on one project and move on to the next task after finishing previous work; however, others may not think this is necessary. Although both sides have its own reasons behind, I firmly believe that people should take on a variety of projects at the same time. There are many reasons behind but the most essential two ones are as follows. First, in this fast moving society, ability to focus on several tasks at the same time is a necessity to succeed in his professional fields. Second, people can find appropriate solutions for a specific project while doing another project.
First of all, people who want to succeed in this brutally competitive and fast-moving society should have the ability to participate in several projects all at once. In this competitive society, companies perform their best to grasp the golden opportunities in foreign countries and thus comb through a variety of country to find opportunities. They require employees to refer to a huge amount of materials and information and make long-term plans to get ahead of their competitors. Therefore, people cannot finish all of his accumulated projects and fall behind in his company if they just focus on one project at the moment. For example, according to a study, conducted by Ministry of Labor in Korea, 67% of the employees replied that working on several projects at the same time plays a pivotal role in competing with her companions. In addition, 71% of the people who are acknowledged that they have ability to do several works precisely have increased chance of getting promotion.
Moreover, working on several works at the same time enables people to find unexpected but creative solutions for specific problems. It can be tempting to believe that people can be distracted if they focus on a variety of projects at the same time. However, all of the things are related to each other and they can come up with great solutions when they view their problems with a different perspective. As a result, people can become competent against their peers by taking on several tasks because they can find original ways which their competitors cannot even dream of. Coming from my personal experiences, I had an experience of suffering from great pressure from doing a lot of tasks at the same time. I had to deal with more than five projects all at once and it really burdened me down. However, while making financial reports on construction group, I could find a great way to finish another assignment regarding construction business. My professor praised my paper because I analyzed overall construction industry with different view from other students. In short, with the ability to work on several tasks at the same time, people can have increased chance to succeed in his professional fields and come up with original solutions. For these reasons, I strongly assert that it is better for people to practice working and focusing on several subjects all at once. |
