This will help them assess your approach to your work. Being singularly focused is a strength, so long as you're able to shift gears and exhibit flexibility when the need arises. Multitasking is challenging for most people. How you track your progress and pick up where you left off on a task you had to shelf when more pressing priorities took precedent is important. Staying productive and preventing rework is part of this. Your ability to exhibit sound judgment and prioritize based on the greater good of the team is of equal relevance.

"The first greatest achievement of the human race was discovering and being able to control fire. So, I like to imagine that every goal is the spark of an idea set in motion. Every goal generates work, and some are closer and burn more brightly than others. So, I like to think that I am harnessing the power of fire, or ideas. Whichever burns the brightest and closest needs to be tended to first, then the next brightest. I don't like to say I am putting out fires, but rather harnessing the fire. So, I look at task management through this lens. I look at everything that needs tending to, evaluate which is burning brightest, and prioritize accordingly."
