Are you a good multi-tasker? Since there are a lot of things to do in life, one is forced to do things at the same time. Some people can actually do it without having their concentration bothered or so. I mean they can still be efficient. However, there are also other people who can't do it. If they do things at the same time, their focus is disturbed. Good time management is important. When one is good at time management, then he/she can finish the work on time and efficiently.

Multi Tasking is an Art Form - this is a photo of a chicken with 4 "arms" mulit tasking..cooking cleaning, etc
Is there anyway out of it? We all know it has existed longer than the phrase was ever coined. Mulit tasking has been around since man first existed. Why is it such a big deal now???Maybe I am just one of the lucky ones that can concentrate on more than one thing at a time. For example I can count money and still carry on a conversation. This used to astound my co-workers, but to me it was normal All mothers are multi taskers. I once read that the main reason women (on average) recover better from strokes than men do, is simply because they are so accustomed to mulit tasking.

Well,to be generous with myself,I would say I suck at multi-tasking bigtime!I find I really have to concentrate on one major task at a time or my work will be full of mistakes.

We have our own specialities, right? At least you are at your best when you do just one thing at a time.

Sometimes it will really make you decide to give up and quit the job. But its fun to do multi taksing tasks. I am actually doing that at work. I have two job titles.

When I started in my job, I was not good in multi-tasking. I even hated it. LOL!!! But as I stayed longer in my job, I already got use to it. However, there are times that I really, really hate it especially if I am in a bad mood.
