It slows me down while I am doing the other thing, and it gives me a hard time understanding the TV series that I am currently watching on Netflix. Lol, I am doing myLot while watching a new found series on Netflix, the title is "Fool Me Once". I hope it is a good one. What are the things you do at the same time?

I might set the washing machine going and the dish-washer and then do something else but that probably doesn't count! lol

I think it is a good strategy though.

As a teenager, I used to be able to multitask. I cannot do that anymore, for the most part. I do, do surveys and watch sports at the same time. I can’t follow a TV show and do surveys, but I can do them and watch sports.

Cool to know, thank you for sharing. What I notice is that while I am aging, my immunity to do different tasks at the same time slows me down, and watching a film without giving my attention - the film seems like a noise to me. Do you have the same experience?

I've never been good at multitasking. I have to do one thing at a time so I can concentrate on it.

Yes, trying to combine many things at once to save time can actually cause you to forget and not accomplish everything in a timely manner. I will attempt house cleaning and laundry with My Lotting, paying bills, listening to podcasts, exercising and TV. Using some combo of those. Sometimes it does backfire.
