While doing mylot, I answered an email and next thing I did was to call for a friend. There are times I do some clicking activities and a pile of other things I have to do is on its way. Most of the time, two or three activities are done. How about you ?

Yeah, I do that a lot, and I guess I'm rather good at it (they usually say women are better at this than men, so perhaps that's why). I have to multi-task at work, where I have to coordinate 6 people and answer all the incoming e-mails while doing my regular tasks, so I have to keep my attention distributive. But my favorite multi-tasking is at home, when I take my laptop to the kitchen and I cook while blogging or browsing social sites.

There was a time when I was chatting online with 2 or 3 friends while chatting on the telephone with another friend while still replying to text messages from other friends. I tried to myLot and check mail in between but the friends were already a handful.LOL That was tiring but very fun to do. I dont recommend doing it though and I dont do it unless I really have to. It also wouldnt be fair to the friends since they might have something important to share and I can only give my divided attention. It would still be nice to master that kind of skill, used only when necessary.^_^

Yeah, I'm pretty good at multi-tasking, I guess, especially when I'm at home. Well, today's not a good example because I'm only on MyLot right now - and that's all I'm doing at the moment (well, I'm also straightening my hair at the same time! LOL) but usually I'll have several sites open at once. Today, though, this is all for fun and I just don't really care and don't really have much else that I'm motivated to do!

Its nice to be relaxed at times multitasking can be very stressful. I'm glad your having fun right now. Thanks for the response.

me too have to multi-task everyday especially when I have a work then. I spend almost of my 16/day for work(transportation time included), the remaining 8 hours should be my rest and sleeping hours but I have to cut it out because I have a lot of household chores to do when I got home. I have to multi-task because I can't rely the chores to my brothers...Upon finishing my employment contract, while doing my blogs, I look after my 3 y/o brother and as usual, the chores are still assigned in me. Therefore, I've learned to manage my time in order to fulfill these duties and earn money even at home.

I used to multi task a lot in the past, but I thought it made me more stressed and also the results were not as good as if I really focused on one thing. So these days, I try to avoid multi tasking to be honest. I feel it works better for me. But everyone is different!

Multitasking is sometime stressful, although we do not choose it, it sometime find its way for us. I still prefer not to multi task as well.

Oh yeah Torcha, I do, all the time! I couldn't have survived without multitasking. I guess we all do. In the kind of scenario we are made to live in, we but have to juggle balls.

Similarly, there are times whereby I have to handle several things all at the same time. It can get tiring and distracting but I do not have a choice, just too many things needed my attention all at the same time.
