Paolo Cardini: Forget multitasking, try monotasking

I'm a designer and an educator.

Jam nje dizenjator dhe edukues.

I'm a multitasking person, and I push my students

Jam nje njeri njeri qe ben shume gjera ne te njejten kohe, dhe i shtyj studentet e mi

to fly through a very creative, multitasking design process.

te fluturojne ne nje proces dizenjimi krijues dhe gjitheperfshires.

But how efficient is, really, this multitasking?

Por sa efikas eshte, ne te vertet kjo qasje?

Let's consider for a while the option of monotasking.

Le te konsiderojme per pak opsionin e te berit nga nje gje ne te njejten kohe.

A couple of examples.

Disa shembuj.

Look at that.

Shikoni kete.

This is my multitasking activity result. (Laughter)

Ky eshte si rezultat i aktivitetit tim "shume gjera ne te njejten kohe. (Te qeshura)

So trying to cook, answering the phone, writing SMS,

Pra, te perpjekurit te gatuash, te pergjigjesh ne telefon, te nisesh mesazh,

and maybe uploading some pictures

dhe ndoshta te uplodosh disa fotografi

about this awesome barbecue.

per kete barbekju te hatashme.

So someone tells us the story about supertaskers,

Pra, dikush na tregon histori per keta njerez qe jane ne gjendje te bejne shume pune ne te njejten kohe,

so this two percent of people who are able

keto 2 perqind e njerezve te cilet jane ne gjendje

to control multitasking environment.

te kontrollojne ambjentet e gjithcka-berjes.

But what about ourselves, and what about our reality?

Po cfare mund te thuhet per ne dhe realitetin tone?

When's the last time you really enjoyed

Kur ka qene hera e fundit kur keni

just the voice of your friend?

shijuar vec zerin e mikut/mikes tende?

So this is a project I'm working on,

Ky eshte nje projekt ne te cilin jam duke punuar,

and this is a series of front covers

dhe keto jane nje seri faqesh te para

to downgrade our super, hyper —

per te degraduar ato super, teper--

(Laughter) (Applause)

(Te qeshura) (Duartrokitje)

to downgrade our super, hyper-mobile phones

per te degraduar celularet tane super te tepruar

into the essence of their function.

ne ate esence te thjeshte per te cilen jane krijuar.

Another example: Have you ever been to Venice?

Nje tjeter shembull: A keni qene ndonjehere ne Venecia?

How beautiful it is to lose ourselves in these little streets

Sa bukur eshte te humbasesh neper ato rrugica te vogla

on the island.

te ishullit.

But our multitasking reality is pretty different,

Por realiteti yne "shume gjera ne te njejten kohe" eshte krejt ndryshe,

and full of tons of information.

dhe e mbushur me informacione pa fund.

So what about something like that

Por, po sikur te ndodhe

to rediscover our sense of adventure?

qe te rizbulojme sensin tone te aventures?

I know that it could sound pretty weird to speak about mono

E di, qe mund te tingulloje mjaft cuditshem nese flasim per mono

when the number of possibilities is so huge,

kur numri i mundesive eshte kaq i madh,

but I push you to consider the option of

por une ju shtyj te konsideroni opsionin e

focusing on just one task,

te fokusuarit vec ne nje detyre,

or maybe turning your digital senses totally off.

ose fikjen e te gjitha senseve tuaja dixhitale.

So nowadays, everyone could produce his mono product.

Pra, gjithkush sot mund te prodhoje produktin e tij mono.

Why not? So find your monotask spot

Pse jo? Gjej nje detyre qe te pelqen

within the multitasking world.

ne kete bote "shume gjera ne te njejten kohe".

Thank you.

Faleminderit.

(Applause)
