I have tried to mulititask and it is hard to do for me. I know for some it is a very easy thing too do. When I have to do this I try to take one thing at a time. If I don't it turns out to be a horrible disaster waiting to happen. It not fun when mulitasking gets out of hand I bound to mess up. I don't know how some people do it. Frankly I am impressed with what some can do. I wish I could be better at multasking. It would make my job alot easier!

Multi-tasking is a skill that I have to pick up to get everything that I want to do done. I mean, I could do each and every task, one at a time, in order. However that would take way too much time for me. I would say about several more hours, at least twice, maybe three times as much. Multi-tasking saves an insane amount of time, if you can master the sky. Unfortunately, it is a skill that some people cannot pick up. I really do not have any advice onto how to do that, it's just something that either comes or does not come.

do you mean doing some things at a time? well, i may consider listening to musics and online-ing are examples of multitasking then. I love to listen to musics because i just hate silence! rather than thinking about unnecessary things, i would prefer listen to musics, even if i don't understand the lyrics for i listen to some japanese and korean songs. well, it's not that bad.

Hello tuckersheri! I do tons of multitasking activities. It is not that easy but I always manage. I think that it is a matter of getting used to it. There are times when I need to squeeze in two or three activities at a given time. Because of this, I do not have any choice but to do these things at the same time. Again, I think that it is a matter of getting used to it.

I love to multitask because I get to accomplish so much in a little bit of time. If I did one thing at a time I would never get anything done. I will be online at the same time as doing laundry and cleaning my house. I jump from each and before I know it my housework is done and then I can continue on the computer.

well it's actually good that you're not good at it. i've read over some fun facts online that multi-tasking can shorten a person's attention span. when i read that article i was like "THAT EXPLAINS IT!". i've been multi-tasking a lot since God knows when, and that explains why i'm having a hard time just focusing on one thing at a time. and when those times happen, i don't really get to finish anything. it's like prolonging a process of getting a job done. and eventually wind up finishing things in a mediocre way just to meet a deadline.

Multi-tasking is nothing but trying to perform more than one things at a same time. I takes a lot of concentration to keep focus while multi-tasking, as we need to focus from one task, to another and re-orient our minds between them. I like to do multi-tasking and it seems to be quite money and time saving strategy to me!!
