Questions 26-28

        Dr. Stephen Covey’s book, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, has become a blueprint for personal development. His teaching focuses on the re-scripting of one’s life with the emphasis on character ethics rather than personality ethics. Many other inspirational and motivational books only deal with ways to improve one’s personality. They seldom pay attention to the underlying character that drives our attitudes and behaviors.

        For example, Habit One is “be proactive.” This means that we should try to exercise our ability to choose the right response in a given situation. When things are done to us in life, it’s very easy to get angry or frustrated. However, if we consider the situation, it is possible to choose a more positive and productive response.

Questions 29-33

        Many of us who have grown up in the digital age are quite confident in our multitasking abilities. After all, today’s generation has been raised on using text messaging, instant messaging, cell phones, iPods, and PDAs all in conjunction with one another. However, new research suggests that multitasking actually hurts productivity in the workplace, and what’s more, it can even be fatal in the wrong situation.

        Studies have shown that when people are given two different tasks to do at the same time, the response to the second task is delayed. In one study, this delay was only about a second, which doesn’t seem like a big deal. Nevertheless, when put in the context of driving while talking on a cell phone, it becomes a great problem. When a person is driving at 100 kilometers per hour, a one-second delay in judgment could be the difference between life and death.

        In the workplace, multitasking results in declining productivity. When expressed as dollars and cents, this lost productivity costs the American economy an estimated $650 billion per year!
