核心概念
Multitasking can be a coping mechanism for those who have experienced being "broken" in the past, leading to a desire for control and ownership over one's domain.
要約
The author shares their personal experience as a former bartender and server, reflecting on how their tendency to "break things" stemmed from a past state of being "broken". As a bartender, the author felt a strong sense of ownership and control over their domain, the bar, which they preferred over the more dispersed responsibilities of a server.
The author suggests that their propensity for multitasking and a desire to "own the shit out of that bar" was a coping mechanism, a way to regain a sense of control and mastery after having previously felt "broken". The bartender role allowed the author to command respect and be seen as the go-to person for advice, which may have been lacking in their past experiences.
The author's insights highlight how personal histories and psychological factors can shape an individual's work preferences and behaviors, such as the tendency to multitask. This suggests that addressing underlying issues and fostering a sense of empowerment and ownership in the workplace may be more effective than simply trying to curb multitasking behaviors.
