I recently realized that I am a terrible multi-tasker, and thus, have stopped doing it. I have also come to another realization about myself: I'm a recovering perfectionist. Being a perfectionist fit comfortably into my Type-A, OCD personality, so it came easy—almost natural. Being a perfectionist has served me well for the most part. It motivated me to work hard and demand a high standard for the quality of work that I do, no matter what the task. My basic philosophy being, "If you are going to do something half-ass, don't bother doing it at all."
