Multitasking? How easy do you find it?

Post Reply New Topic

Do you usually have multiple activities going on at the same time? Or do you finish one and move onto another? I usually love over-loading myself with a lot of work.

For me I usually look into every task I am supposed to be doing and select the hard task first and then finish it before I move onto easier ones. Some times I alternate easy and hard tasks for confidence. But I give so much to the tasks so I find I tire myself out easily. I sometimes have trouble meeting deadlines but the job I finished so far is usually good quality.

Then there is a time when I am done thinking and just want to rest my brain for days!

Multi-task usually, I somehow find it easier than just doing one thing...

If I try to do just one thing I get frustrated easily.

No, I don't.

And I certainly don't stick my finger in every creampie.

lol i actually thought this was about pies. i took the title literally

I prefer to do one thing at a time.

With Wrll its so many things. I have a hard time watching more than a few episodes of a show and so I save where I am at and go onto another show. This happens even with Gintama and House.

I'm a horrible multi-tasker.

I thought this would be about pie. Now I'm sad.

But I multitask when I'm at the computer, I usually have several things going at once.

Ew-- I would never want to ruin a perfectly good pie that way!

I thought it was about pies too, and I was wondering who would do that.
But no, I shut down if I have too many things going on at once and can't manage to do any of it. I prefer doing one thing at a time and doing it until it's finished before moving on to the next thing.

Not a good way of framing the question then...

i'm better at spending a good amount of time on one thing at a time.

I hear that, I thought this was going to be literal. Oh well, at least I got a chuckle out of it.

Back on topic, I'm a horrible multitasker. If I actively have to think about two large tasks at once I almost shut down. Three or more large tasks at once is just too daunting to think about.

Yeah, I ignored this thread for awhile because I thought, "Why would anyone stick their finger in a pie like that, let alone several?"

Then I looked out of curiosity.

To answer the OP, I used to have multiple things going on at the same time, but I overloaded on it. I've been more fixated on doing a single thing at a time since. Right now, I am handling about three or four separate things at once to manage my health care, therapy, and SSA application, but I am pretty close to my organizational limit in doing so.

Alright I take things literally too so I'll just change the question

I can multi task pretty well. I just go back and forth. But there are things I struggle in like I miss what is going on in a TV show when I am online or doing other things. I can breast feed and then go and check on the pasta I am cooking and then sit back down again.
