Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
It is better to do one project first and then begin to do another than to do several projects at the same time.
Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
(Agree)
Some people feel that they can do multiple projects at the same time. However, I feel that starting and completing one project at a time is the ideal way to work.
To begin with, concentrating fully on something can be difficult, so it is better to focus on only one thing at a time. In other words, a person should start and finish a project before doing the next in order to concentrate better. There was a time when I had to write two term papers in one week. I took each task one by one and finished the first before starting the second. I ended up getting good scores on both papers. I doubt that would have happened had I written them simultaneously. Finishing one paper before starting the other clearly helped me on those assignments.
I have noticed that confusion often occurs when a person tries to do more than one project at a time. This confusion typically results in poor outcomes for whatever the person is doing. As an example, my friend once had to give both physics and chemistry presentations at school on the same day. He waited too long to prepare them and had to work on them together. He eventually confused physics terms with chemistry terms, so he naturally got bad grades on both presentations. Doing two things at the same time can only lead to confusion.
Lastly, the final result of a project will definitely be better if a person works on only one thing at a time. By working on just one project, the person can give maximum effort on it. Remember preparing for tryouts for the soccer team while also studying for my midterms. I failed to do my best in either task. As a result, I was not picked for the school’s soccer team, and I got low scores on my midterms as well. Lf I had chosen just one thing and then focused on it exclusively, my chances of succeeding would have been much greater.
All in all, completing one project or task before starting another is the ideal course of action to give one’s best, avoid confusion, and attain the best results. It is better to wait to finish one project before starting another anew.
