Do you Multitask or Concentrate doing one particular thing only?? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 94/100. easy888 (4323)   ranked 498 out of 27,651 in life1 year ago

'When i am replying in mylot,i will switch on the television,but i find out that i can concentrate on typing only,i cannot hear what the television is about,i may also open a few internet exploer windows to browse different websites at the same time,but still i will focus on one site at particular moment until i finish one task.'

When do you multitask? Does it work for you? Can you handle all the tasks well?
Do you prefer to do it one by one??

When you are mylotting,are you doing something else??

When I am listening to the music,i find out that i cannot analyze things well,do you have same feeling??

Do share your thoughts:)

Well, I can have the tv on, but when I'm responding to a discussion I don't really hear it. I do know I can't have a conversation with a tv or radio on, that's music or talk. I can't read with music on either or with the tv on. In fact, about the only thing I can do with radio & tv on is stitch or other crafts, even then I can mess up, but not too badly.

noise around us such as music or television shows take away our concentration to what we're doing. i am just like you elcbxn. especially when reading and responding to discussions. i can easily be destructed and i hate it.

ElicBxn,may be when you are doing crafts,you do not need to think or analyze by your brain,you only need to move with your hands,but when we are replying,we need to think and build up ideas,it is impossible for us to hear and understand what the TV or radio is on.


myLot reputation of 94/100. easy888 (4323)   ranked 498 out of 27,651 in life  1 year ago

maryannemax,but some members said that they can concentrate better with music on,I m not sure about the reasons behind.

i don't like multi tasking. it takes away my focus from the most important thing to do.

like when myLotting, i don't like to hear something more. i just want my ears and eyes concentrating on the discussions and responses.

if i need to do something else, i finish doing other things before logging in here so i can be sure that i won't need to multitask... anne


myLot reputation of 94/100. easy888 (4323)   ranked 498 out of 27,651 in life  1 year ago

hi,maryannemax,evem when i have switched on my television,it will be like a background noise,at particular moment,i will either focus on typing and replying or i will focus on the television if it is the news or other programme that i am interested on.
I can focus on one thing only.

myLot reputation of 94/100. easy888 (4323)   ranked 498 out of 27,651 in life  1 year ago

So will you multitask when you are mylotting,how can you manage multitask?? Or is it like a habit?

I am a big multitasker.I have the TV on, my cat and dog run into my room every little while,and i will stop a minute and play with them.Right now i have several things on hold that i should be doing and im answering on mylot...I have a lot of projects going on but when the pressure hits and i have to finish one i try to keep my mind only on what i am doing but it is hard,and i find that i sometime make a few mistakes..My mind runs here and there..It is very hard for me to stick to one thing if i have something else pending...


myLot reputation of 94/100. easy888 (4323)   ranked 498 out of 27,651 in life  1 year ago

I think my mind will get messed up if i were to do so many things at the same time.i can only do things well only if i concentrate on them or i will stuff them up.

Being a former paralegal I multi-task to the extreme, I will have several televisions sets going on at one, usually 6 browsers windows open doing a number of different tasts, I love multi-tasking, I guess all the years of doing it for my business I just got used to it and can handle many tasks at once.


myLot reputation of 94/100. easy888 (4323)   ranked 498 out of 27,651 in life  1 year ago

So that mean you can think of different things in your mind,for example,you are typing a reply in mylot,you can plan something else in your mind,can;t you?
How does being a paralegal help you handle multitask well then?


myLot reputation of 99/100. texasclassygal (3445)   ranked 429 out of 27,651 in life  1 year ago

Spending the last 20 years as a paralegal we are taught that we need to multi-task many different responsibilities at the same time, I guess it carried over to my personal life, I can be involved in a television show or a movie and type at the same time, I read my typeing over, but I don't need to look at the keys on the keyboard to know what I am typing is correct.


myLot reputation of 94/100. easy888 (4323)   ranked 498 out of 27,651 in life  1 year ago

Oh,yeah,i can imagine how fast you can type without looking at the keyboard..For me,i have to look at the keyboard every time or i will have a lot of typos.
I can imagine being a paralegal would be very hectic everyday,not only you could do multitask,you should be able to handle pressure pretty well,aren;t you?


myLot reputation of 99/100. texasclassygal (3445)   ranked 429 out of 27,651 in life  1 year ago

Life was very crazy as a paralegal, everyday was a different day, these days I just live peacefully and pray that my daughter does not bring too much drama into my world.


myLot reputation of 94/100. easy888 (4323)   ranked 498 out of 27,651 in life  1 year ago

As i remember, you had started a discussion about your daughter,she had graduated from the college and looking for a job at the time you started the discussion,how is she going now?


myLot reputation of 99/100. texasclassygal (3445)   ranked 429 out of 27,651 in life  1 year ago

Yes, my little drama queen that she is, she is doing great, thanks for asking Easy, she got a part time job waitressing and getting unemployment to make up the rest of the income she is missing, she is still looking for her dream job (writing) and I am sure it will come with enough effort.


myLot reputation of 94/100. easy888 (4323)   ranked 498 out of 27,651 in life  1 year ago

True,she has to be more patient when looking for jobs as they will not come to you at once when you need them.But may be she can get a chance later,life is full of hope.
Good luck to her.

When I am on here I have my TV on and I have three other site up at the same time and sometimes a poker site with all that. I can handle many task at one time. Hugs


myLot reputation of 94/100. easy888 (4323)   ranked 498 out of 27,651 in life  1 year ago

Oh,can you play poler at the same time when you are replying?I reckon it will be very hard to handle it.


myLot reputation of 94/100. hoghoney (2258)   ranked 350 out of 27,651 in life  1 year ago

Yes I am in a poker tournament right now. when I get an email for here it notifiys me of it and then I will respond to it and then when it is my turn on the poker table my tab will flash and I will hop over there and then jump back here. right now I have four things going on at the same time.

With kids and homeschooling, I am almost ALWAYS multi tasking.

Take right now, I am reading and responding to my lot discussions, while watching tv, and working towards my Pogo challenge.

Normallyin a given day I am always multi-tasking at least 3 things at one time.

Mooch

I can pretty much only do one thing at a time. Heck, I can't chew bubble gum and walk at the same time... and I never could! I will lose track of the second thing i am doing and it will be a disaster. I put some potatoes on to fry the other day and came here to mylot and the next thing I knew the pan was burned up. The potatoes were salvageable.


myLot reputation of 94/100. easy888 (4323)   ranked 498 out of 27,651 in life  1 year ago

True,sometimes when i am boiling water in the kitchen and then go back to my bedroom mylotting,i will forget about the water.


myLot reputation of 93/100. charlene2350 (4857)   ranked 449 out of 27,651 in life  1 year ago

I've burned up many boiled eggs that way too! LOL.
