It is common for us to encounter multiple tasks at the same time in our life. Personally, I do not believe that the tight schedule necessarily leads to unsatisfactory performance of varying tasks. I feel this way for two reasons, which I will explore in the following essay.

To begin with, a careful plan in advance can help us cope well with time pressure. When we multitask, a primary concern is to allocate time and effort appropriately. This can be solved by taking all major events into consideration and ranking them by their priority. I learn this from my personal experience in the last semester when I came across three significant and time-consuming tasks. I had to finish my graduation thesis, act as pre-service teacher and apply for a doctoral program at the same time. In order to distribute time and effort properly, I made a detailed plan at the very beginning of the term. During different phases, I allocated my time and effort according to the urgency and necessity of the tasks. Moreover, these tasks were interconnected to some extent. Some of the previous activities were beneficial to the rest, which saved me lots of time. All these tasks were performed satisfactorily due to a plan in advance and caused little frustration to me. Consequently, I maintain that a busy schedule does not equal failure in many tasks.

Furthermore, different tasks complement each other and sometimes can promote each other. Preparation for an upcoming badminton competition can help us relax during a busy examination week. Volunteer work may inspire us to start a research program. For instance, my mother got an inspiration for her research when helping me with my math homework.  As a math teacher, she was always occupied with teaching and researching. These tasks did not exhaust her but supported each other. If she had not dealt with these matters at the same time, she would not have identified thought-provoking research and finished the program magnificently. Based on this experience, I strongly feel that multiple tasks are not an excuse for unsatisfactory performance, but an inspiration for creative methods and ideas.

In conclusion, I strongly believe performing many a task will not lead to failure in them. This is because we are urged to make a plan ahead of time to distribute time and many of the tasks complement and promote each other.

To begin with, a careful arrangement of all the tasks in advance can lessen time pressure as well as anxiety. When we face all sorts of matters simultaneously, a major headache is how to allocate time and effort appropriately. This can be solved by taking all major events into consideration and ranking them by their priority. My personal experience is a compelling illustration of this. In the semester before, the graduation thesis, the teaching practice and the application for a doctoral program occurred together. Each of them is significant and time-consuming. In order to distribute time and effort properly, I made a detailed plan at the very beginning of the term. During different phase, I allocate my time and effort according to the urgency and necessity of the tasks. Besides, these tasks are interconnected to some extent. Some of the previous activities are beneficial to the rest ones, which saved me lots of time. All these tasks were performed satisfactorily due to a plan in advance and caused little frustration to me. Consequently, I maintain that a busy schedule doesn’t equal to failure in many tasks.

Furthermore, in most cases, different matters afflicting us complement each other and enlighten us. Preparation for an upcoming badminton competition can help us relax in the busy examination week. Volunteering work in a community may inspire us to initiate a research program. For instance, my mother got inspiration for her teaching enhancement program when helping me with my math. Being a math teacher, she was always occupied with teaching and researching. These tasks didn’t exhaust her, but gave support to each other. If she hadn’t dealt with these matters at the same time, she wouldn’t have identified some provoking research focus and finished the program beyond expectation. Based on this experience, I strongly feel that multi-tasks are not an excuse for ill-performance of many duties, but an inspiration for some creative methods and ideas.
