We all live in a multitasking environment. We are constantly loaded with multiple tasks and thoughts, and sometimes we are trying to handle it all at once. Multitasking has become present everywhere in our lifes: at home, at work, while driving our car and in numerous simple daily tasks.
The competition on our attention can have a destructive effect on our emotions and our interactions with the people around us. According to dozens of studies from around the world, distractions and momentary multitasking raise the level of stress in our body and mind, and therefor lead to lack of interpersonal attention. This is one of the most prominent causes of exhaustion and burn-out at work and of conflicts between family members.
What can we do about it?
The "Zen Juggling – Trust in Multitasking" workshop was created to help cope with this topic and deals with communication, interactions and interpersonal trust in multitasking situations.This activity, as a one-time session or a series of sessions, is designed to regain and nourish trust between the participants and between them and their peers, and protect it from the side effects of pressure and stress, both at work and at home.
Using the learning process of the art of juggling, but only in pairs and groups, this activity allows the participants to “take a peek” on relationships and behaviour patterns. During the process, these interfaces are reflected in a first-hand way, discussed in an empowering and constructive approach, and a new perspective is formed on patterns of behavior, trust and synergy.
