More stress
It could be more stressful for you to finish anything if problems occur in any of the tasks you started. It will end up that you keep starting and switching a task or goals but not finishing any of it. As a freelancer, our goal is to have results ahead of deadlines but assuring the quality of work. It is better to work slowly but surely.
Making mistakes
There’s a huge possibility that you can tend to make mistakes when you are doing multitasking, and those mistakes will affect your quality. To have good work quality, take time to review everything before you give or send it to your client, and stop multitasking.
Decrease your performance and productivity
Multitasking can also lower our performance level and productivity. Why? Simply because you are not aligned in the goals anymore.
Lost focus
Doing two or more tasks can lead to confusion. Trying to do much with your brain will make you lose focus and concentration in that way it will cause all problems.
Your creative ideas may slow
Your creative ideas may slow because you can’t think clearly. Your only focus is on how to finish the tasks at the same time. It would help if you refreshed your mind so that your creativity will be back.These are just a few reasons that you should stop multitasking. Don’t waste your time. Utilize your time well for yourself and clients. If you want to get more tasks to be achieved, you should focus on a task or goal one at a time.
