Multi-tasking... do you like doing two or more things at the same time? email this discussion to a friend?

I developed that kind of habit at home.. when i had no office job before, i was considered as "the maid" at home..lolz.. i do the cooking, the sweeping, and the washing of dishes at the same time! Can you believe that?? well, it will be lucky for my brothers and sister if my cooking doesn't get burnt or something.. hehe..

I also recalled that i already was a multi-tasker since i was in college.. i study my lessons while watching television or listening to music..i was used to it and i can't absorb my lessons well if i study without turning on the TV or Radio..:-)

Because of that training i had at home, I was able to make it good in my office job.. i typed in the computer while answering the phone.. or do reports while doing mylot, lolz.. believe me, i'm good and effective at this multi-tasking thing.

Are you a multi-tasker?

I have always been a multi-tasker. I can't seem to keep my mind on just one thing at a time, and jump from one thing to another, so even if I tried to do just one thing at a time I don't think that I could do it.


myLot reputation of 92/100. livvy092002 (471)   ranked 1,926 out of 27,605 in life  1 year ago

I think its okay to do multi-tasking as long as you finish all the works and have effectively done them.. Its better coz you save time in doing multiple tasks at the same time..:-)

Yep, as long as you don't use two of your senses at the same time. I usually do the same as yours. I can listen to music while reading or doing scrapbook. I also encode things in the computer while talking over the phone.

It's funny sometimes because my friends get amazed everytime am doing two tasks at the same time.


myLot reputation of 92/100. livvy092002 (471)   ranked 1,926 out of 27,605 in life  1 year ago

Yeah, in the office.. i also sometimes do two or three different types of report all at the same time.. with more than reports, i probably would get nuts in doing them at the same time! lolz.. all i can afford i think is until three different works at the same time..:-)

I think multi-tasking is ok but you can do something wrong. Sometimes I can't manage all of the tasks and I just do it one by one...


myLot reputation of 92/100. livvy092002 (471)   ranked 1,926 out of 27,605 in life  1 year ago

Yes, other people or most of them really prefer to do one thing at at time. If you can't focus on many work at the same time, the tendency really is not be able to finish any work.. lol.. and maybe, even if you finish all the work at the same time.. the quality of your output are not so good.:-)

Oh yes I am lol. I have always been one for getting more bang for my time. So I don't just do one thing at once. Like my time here at mylot, I am answering and replying while eating and/or drinking coffee. When I finish I leave to get other things done, but only return when I am taking a break to eat or drink coffee again. I can't just set here and not have something else to do or get done.


myLot reputation of 92/100. livvy092002 (471)   ranked 1,926 out of 27,605 in life  1 year ago

Hi there. Multi-tasking is a natural thing for most women... Personally speaking, I can carry a phone with me, wash and dry dishes as well as cook and clean after myself... Actually today, I hung out the first load of washing, cleaned and vacummed the house, while I waited for the second load of washing, hung that out and weeded 2 gardens, while talking to my husband on our hand held phone, then decided to wash one of our cars, and this only minor multi-tasking compared to other things I have done within 1-2 hours of less lol...


myLot reputation of 92/100. livvy092002 (471)   ranked 1,926 out of 27,605 in life  1 year ago

Wow! you are indeed a multi-tasker! and you are very industrious! I bet you're husband must be very proud of you, it seems that you manage the home well and get more things done in less time!:-)


myLot reputation of 92/100. livvy092002 (471)   ranked 1,926 out of 27,605 in life  1 year ago

I think women are really more efficient, more responsible and more industrious than men.. i dont know if men can do that multi-tasking thing.lolz.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Nardz13 (4336)   ranked 1,011 out of 27,605 in life  1 year ago

Hi there. I also think woman are more specific and efficient when it comes to multi-tasking... Men cannot do what a woman can accomplish in under 1-2 hours... Thats a fact, and if they try, most will definetly miss or overlook something really important and take the short cuts lol, Im only going on experience from when I had, one of my brothers live us, at one time, awhile ago, hes now probably changed, I wonder lol...

Yes i love doing two things sometimes more things at a time. I usually do that at home too.Just like baby setting, doing household chores. I do cooking, laundrey manaually, cleaning the house and a lot more. Sometimes it depends on the time i am consuming for that certain work.There's nothing wrong about it as lomg as you can afford to do them together. I can recall all the things when i give birth thru ceasarian, i wash my baby's clothes at the sam time nursing her,i can cook too while nursig her. It is just upon us whether we can do it or not. ....BUt I really do that..............


myLot reputation of 92/100. livvy092002 (471)   ranked 1,926 out of 27,605 in life  1 year ago

yeah Moms really are multi-taskers i guess.. See, even you who gave birth thru a ceasarian operation still can manage to take care all of the baby's needs at the same time! Whew, supermom!:-)

myLot reputation of 92/100. livvy092002 (471)   ranked 1,926 out of 27,605 in life  1 year ago

Yes, i agree..

It's a fact that girls multitask and guys can't. It's just natural for us. I'm not sure if this is a fact but I believe it's because when we have kids, we needed the ability to feed the kid and talk to another or eat or talk on the phone. Like in cavemen times I bet we had to calm the kid down while cooking food and watching our mates hunt or build and help them build.


myLot reputation of 92/100. livvy092002 (471)   ranked 1,926 out of 27,605 in life  1 year ago

Yes i also think so.. even in the olden times, women really have lots and lots of responsibilities especially at home..

Does it also mean that women are more stressed than men? Because multi-tasking can also be a stressful work for some..


myLot reputation of 85/100. loolets (1333)   ranked 5,683 out of 27,605 in life  1 year ago

I'd say it can be at times, but it comes so naturally to us to multitask that most often it's not a struggle. It's just something we do without even thinking. Like if I'm in a hurry, I brush my teeth and put on clothes at the same time, etc. Or eat my breakfast in the car haha I'm sure we all do that at times.

Well just want to keep it short. This kind of life makes you to be the superstar in whatever you do, cause i do it also. Keep it up.


myLot reputation of 92/100. livvy092002 (471)   ranked 1,926 out of 27,605 in life  1 year ago

multi-tasking isn't really an easy thing to do.. you have to get used to it to master the technique.. lolz.. practice makes perfect..

I usually multi-task, mostly because I have a short attention span. But at work, I stay focussed on one task until it's done, and move onto the next. Otherwise I'd spend all day juggling different things, and stuff would get missed or not completely finished.


myLot reputation of 92/100. livvy092002 (471)   ranked 1,926 out of 27,605 in life  1 year ago

hi cutepenguin.. i can see you have a strategy at work! that's nice to know.. multi-tasking isn't really good or bad.. i think it just depends on the output we get from doing it..
