Can you chew and type at the same time? Of course provided that you have your hands free to type. I havent really taken notice of it until a friend pointed out while chatting that he cant chew and type at the same time.
That retained in my mind somehow and wanted to see for myself if I am like that without being biased in any way.
So this afternoon while grabbing a bite and typing some responses, I remembered the comment. I have my snack on one hand and type with the other hand. My results were pretty conclusive that I can chew while typing or type while chewing, whichever you prefer.LOL!
Anyways, what about you? Can you "multi-task" these activities? Perhaps you'd also like to share what are your usual snacks at the computer? Do you have snacks with an accompanying drink as well?
Thanks for sharing.^_^

I often eat my lunch at my desk whilst working and only stop to grab hold of my sandwich and put it in my mouth. I certainly can chew and type at the same time and, honestly, I do not understand what is so hard about it.
As I work in a busy office I find that I am constantly mulit-tasking throughout the day, for example I carry on typing when I'm on the phone and I am often photocopying whilst relaying a message to a colleague.

Well, I can multi task but I cant really chew and type. I can try when Im conscious about the food in my mouth but when my mind is really engrossed in what I was typing about then I sometimes forget to chew.LOL
You must be very efficient in your work, with all that multi tasking.

All my working life has been spent in office environments so I have gotten used to it other wise I would not be able to do my job as offices are always very busy places to be.
Personally I would rather be busy then sat about doing nothing. I have worked in a quiet office where there was never much to do and it was so boring. This was one place where I didn't have to multi-task as there was just not enough work to do that.

Well, I have done it per pause and a half full of my food I could still manage to eat as I know to type with only one hands being use as I am really a slow typist, I could do a lot of multi-tasking activities which is possible most of the times. As you itself have manage to try and it works pretty well on you.. lol..

lol...
You know what, I just tried and even though I could manage, I noticed that when I am reading or typing something intently, just as I am doing now my mouth is stopping.That means my concentration in on that thing alone which makes me stop doing other activities. This goes to show another thing, BJ. How bad I am in multitasking! It's true but I am not a good multitasker.

Yes i can chew and type at the same time with no problems at all. Usual snacks at the computer apart from normal food are peanuts and sunflower seeds i guess. I sometimes drink some energy drinks, but not necessarily mix them with the snacks.

Hiya, I love peanuts.^_^ Just cant eat them while typing. I prefer to have more concentration when eating them. Especially when the nuts are still in their shells.LOL!^_^ Speaking of shells, do sunflower seeds have shells? Kinda like watermelon seeds where you need to pop the shell to get the seed inside? Just curious.
Thanks for the response.
