Multitasking

I am not the type of person to multitask. I've tried that a few times before and it just confused the hell outta me! I always end up focusing on one task instead. I don't wanna do it anymore as much as possible 'coz it's not healthy. I've also read that multitasking does make you LESS productive than when you do tasks one at a time.

cooking! since my in-laws would always want at least 3 recipes on the table, i cook each and every menu all at the same time. not to mention, i wash some utensils when needed. there are helpers but everytime i start cooking, i let them watch over my kids so i can concentrate more. and its fun! happy new year dorannmwin

I've been trying to avoid multi-tasking, actually, and to focus on doing one thing at a time. It's not going so well: I find that I'm constantly distracted.

It is an age thing with me as I am no longer very good at multi tasking. I now finish one job and then start the other. I could write during commercial TV breaks - I do this and jot down things in my diary that i have to do the next day - either personal or at work so I do not forget. But to my horror - dare I say it? I now get a bit flustered when under pressure. This is why my evil boss puts me under pressure hoping that one day I will snap and walk out of the office. But I will not do thi as I so need a job for the next three years

Many days I am doing the washing.cleaning the bathroom ,listening to the tv.baking something for tea and have a coffee with my friend.easy.

I have always been able to multitask. I can type on here and yet do homework or play a game. I also watch tv and respond to questions posted on here. I have always been able to multitask. I also keep paper handy and jot things down especially when it comes close to our weekly trip grocery shopping (every Saturday is grocery shopping night). It is fun to be able to make money while geting other things done.

I love multitasking I currently work with 3 computers running and doing on things on all three of them. my current one that I am on have 4 tabs open which I am currently working on and replying to as I am typing this one. I have 3 different notepads and have them categorized for whatever it is that I am doing at the time between phone calls.

There are things I'll do while preparing a meal. And then yes, while online, I might have several projects at once going on, or I'll do exercises as I talk on the phone, or knit while watching tv.

I have multitask all my life. I'm a person that has to be busy at all times. So while on Mylot I will be doing laundry, watching TV and even playing games online too. I will be checking my emails and doing surveys. I also take a 10 minute break from the computer every 45 minutes or so running around cleaning the kitchen, vacuuming and folding clothes. I need to accomplish alot each and everyday to feel good. Don't get me wrong there are a few times in a year that I just want to curl up with a good book in bed or just watch good lifetime movies all day.

I am also the same with games and mylot. I have at least 2 tabs opened at all times when I am on the computer. And as far as daily life I am one multi tasking mommy. I have heard that you don't get as much done multi tasking as when you stick to one thing and get it done. But I disagree. I get bored doing the same thing for a long time. So like when I am cleaning I go from one thing to another to not get bored. Like do a load of dishes, then sweep, then back to the dishes then organize this, or fold clothes. It is always something, I am constantly on the move.

I'm definitely a multitasker - and big time with 2 little ones now! Even moreso with all the holiday prep in the past week - ahhhh! I will read myLot discussions (sometimes type IF I can) while nursing the baby while trying to get more paper from the art supply cupboard for my older one while switching the DVD that just ended while gulping down some food I just threw together while making sure the cookies in the oven are not burning while . . . while . . . . while . . . it goes on. Hee hee. I've always been a multitasker . . . I get sort of fidgety if I am doing only one thing. I used to watch tv, eat and do my homework - hee hee - it probably started there.

I can watch tv,eat,play facebook,games, and talk on the phone, text, chat online at the same, does that count? lol

At times I have envied those who cannot multitask, things seem so much simplier for them but ultimately I wouldn't trade places with them. The reason I multitask is to keep my mind stimulated I constantly need to learn and experience new things. At one point in my life I realized I had held 5 different jobs for a year and a half, just long enough to learn everything I could and then move on to something new. Now I am an elementary school teacher and every day is full of new experiences.

I find myself doing some major multitasking while at home. I will watch TV/movie, play my xbox 360, and play 19 accounts on a MMORTS (massive multi-player online real time strategy) online at the same time...it's getting ridiculous!
