Do you like to do 2 things the same time, or one by one in order?

I used to try multitasking, doing 2 things together, especially with online earning. I would open a couple of browsers together, and jumping around to do 2 or 3 things together. For instance, while I finish posting discussion or responding in mylot, I would jump to another site and do something else, or I might click on those paid - click sites. I thought that it will be efficient and effective, but I guess that I was wrong. I didn't really made a good discussion, too many sentences just didn't make sense, because I was quick and fast. And on other sites, I committed the same mistake myself too. Now, I felt so exhausted by doing multitasking, I would prefer do things in an organized manner, one by one. I would like to finish posting discussions here, then I would do something else. What would you prefer?

hi, if the person's ability really flexible and can do everything at the same time all work will probably shorten,but for me i think i can do two task at the same time depend to the task i do,so that my work will become faster.

There are times I wanted to do more things in a day and just by thinking of those, I think I would be really tired after doing it all. So, I keep in mind that I have the energy to get it all done before the day ends. Most of the time I do it one by one but then when I know there can be minutes that can be wasted, I do some others to let the time not be wasted. For I am the one who will still do it anyway. Let the time not be wasted. That's my thinking if I am really getting focused and be productive for a day. But then there are also times that all I wanted to do and think of is myself. These times, I wanted to sleep and get rest most of the time during the day. Then after resting, I simply panicked and realized I should have done a lot of things than resting!

I often do multitasking. As a housewife, my job very much. Especially in the morning. I had to work fast, and multitasking, so I quickly finished the job. Indeed sometimes, I become unfocused, because I had to do many jobs at one time. Very tiring, but I have to do it.

I also have tried multitasking with websites. But when it comes to sites like MyLot, I found that dedicating time to it is much better. I sometimes come on here more then once a day. I do try to get lots of my other sites done in the morning and spend some quality time here. Some sites are time consuming, but it is what it is. I rather come to MyLot and stick with it.

I always do multitasking, many job must be done in one time....especially simple task job....worker rush to submitting the job before its taken by others. Almost every time, up to 12 sites in one time....damn...sometime it make me like crazy.....but it's about competition in earning money...."who fast they get"

For me, i'm only doing something one by one. I'm the type of person who can concentrate in doing multiple things when doing multiple things, my concentration is devided and could causing some mistakes with my tasks. I tends to forget something when doing multiple tasks at the same time, sometimes only a little things but sometimes a big things too. That is why i must do every tasks one by one, so i can concentrate in doing it and minimized the error. Happy mylotting...

most of the time i love to multitask as i like to use my time efficiently and effectively as possible... but it really depends on what i am doing... some things that required lots of concentrations, i just have to do one thing at a time so that i won't make a mistake... take care and have a nice day...

I multitask but only now and again when I feel up to it, other times it just gets to be too much for me to try to do.

I'm also the type that do many things at once and I know the feeling. Dear, I tried to do one thing at a time and I just don't work that way, you may try be more organized but just try, cause if you are doing many things at once you're the type agitated person so you can't do just one. If you are, just go along, accept who you are and know that somethings just can't change. And plus, it's great you can concentrate in many things at once! I gave up on trying to do one at a time.

I never do multitasking at the same time. I cannot concentrate or focus on two things at the same time. My mind were divided. I never made good income or result and not when I do online but offline. Yes, I easily work two things together. To do two work offline is easier than to do two things online. We don't need to think hard to do our offline job in contrast with online job. We need good strategies, method and more importantly focus on the things we are doing over with.

As for doing a multitasking on online. I cannot make it for me. As things are different from different sites. or as i may say i am not use to it by now. But for working on online and having some research. i think i can easily make it.. or doing other social sites. doing house chores i can make multitasking. a dishwasher while laudry my clothes and while cooking my rice..

I do multitasking but that would depends on the situation itself.like for example i would do the laundry first and let the washing machine do and I will clean the house. when the washing machine is finished i will get the clothes to air dry it.and continue with what i was working with..Sometimes it is best to do multitasking to finish what you are working but that would depends on the situation itself and of course time management has something to do with it.

I can sort of multi-task; like doing laundry & running the dishwasher at the same time. But for the most part, I don't like to multi-task. It leaves room for me to mess something up! :)

I consider multitasking just doing multiple things badly. I prefer to do 1 thing at a time and see it through to completion and do it well. Then on to the next project.

I think it all depends on what I am doing. I like to multitask alot of times to make sure to get alot done.
