As an aAspie, multitasking has always been a struggle. Different things we have to so to live in this world require it such adms jobs, school, driving, and even socializing. The fact that we struggle with this can make seemingly ordinary tasks a struggle for us.
As a person who has learned to deal, cope, and strengthen this area I've learned a few tips.
Tip1: get good at the thinges that you often have to do in a multilingual situatuon. For example if you have trouble looking people into the eye while listening tactics each thing separately first until you get better. If it's learning a new job, break down the components of the new task and master each component first and the do the full task with it combined. If you have to take a phone call at a job, learn the computer program menu first get familiar with it, then get familiar with basic questions a customer will ask and get fast at that and then combined them.
Tip2: try to reduce anxiety as much ad possible. Anxiety significantly makes multitasking harder. Ivery read about it everywhere and witnessed it on my own. Try to get other tgings,that stress you out out of your mind first before embracing on crucial multitasking tasks. I think I learned that helps get rid of anxiety is writing everything that's on your mind down on paper and the make a vow that you'll deal with that at a later time,with a special time- the time has to be specific because it let's your mind know and it will be easier to put it aside. Also writing things down let's you get rid of some of the stress anyway. Another way is trying to deal with the stress at hand first. I.e. if you have an argument, resolve the argument first or work on trying to forgive. I found the bast way to forgive is knowing all humans can't know everything and we mistakes "we all know not what we do."
Tip3: Take natural none prescription pills that help with focusing and short term memory. What I find that helps with me is:
Fish oil pills
Kinko biloba
Vitamin B supliments
These are all cheap and you can find them at places like Walmart at 5$ per bottle. If you take 1-2 per day, after about a month you'll notice a huge difference in focusing, memory, and the ability of multi tasking
