Multitasking is often praised as a core administrative skill—but research shows it may actually reduce productivity, increase errors, and drive unnecessary stress. In this eye-opening session, administrative professionals will debunk common myths about multitasking and explore how the brain really handles competing demands. Participants will learn practical strategies to manage interruptions, prioritize effectively, and shift from constant task-switching to focused, high-impact work—without sacrificing responsiveness or service.

  • Explain why multitasking is a myth and how constant task-switching impacts focus, efficiency, and accuracy.

  • Identify common multitasking traps in the administrative role that contribute to overload and burnout.

  • Distinguish between true multitasking and intentional task-sequencing to work more effectively.

  • Reframe productivity expectations and communicate boundaries in a professional, service-oriented way.
