Multi-tasking...how good are you, really?
-
I absolutely stink at multi-tasking. I prefer to devote myself to something 100% until it is complete. As we all know, in the real world, this is a fantasy. I juggle about 5 contracts right now and each one wants to think they are the most important. I do the best I can, but I know I could manage my time better. How good are you at multi-tasking? Does one client/contract/customer usually win out over the rest in the big juggle game?

"No, that is just the earthly manifestation of the Great God Retardon." - Nagy Vilmos (2011)Why do I keep mistaking you for the commedian? Anyway, it depends. I like to dedicte myself to a task so I can do it 100%, I can multitask, but I dont like the results. I need 100% mental focus to do something porperly. Right now for instance I have a contract to complete, a few months left, and a lot of work on the house to do. For a long time I have been putting off the work oin the house since it needs a lot of effort, mental and physical, and quite frankly, after working 50 hours a week I need to relax. Still, as the contract is neering the end I am cranking up the house work, and it is going well. Moving walls, fitting bathrooms, windows, tiling, plumbing, wiring, stud work, plastering... Still, it getf you fit. THe first week of it I was knackered, and just sweated the whole time, and it isnt even that hot, but the physical form is coming back and the work is getting easier.
============================== Nothing to say.

That isn't really multitasking. That's time-slicing. Multitasking would be writing a report for contract 1 with one hand whilst typing in code for contract 2 with the other hand and talking to the commissioner for contract 3 on the blower at the same time.

"No, that is just the earthly manifestation of the Great God Retardon." - Nagy Vilmos (2011)I put my heart into doing one thing at a time, unless something else absolutely crazy happens; like the dog somehow spontaneously combusted and really needs my immediate attention. It's not like a preference, but I just cannot properly do more than one thing simultaneously.

"No, that is just the earthly manifestation of the Great God Retardon." - Nagy Vilmos (2011)Many, many, many years ago I went through the recruitment process to become an air traffic controller. One of the tests was on a computer, and the screen was split into two, most of it was numbers moving across a screen, and you had to hit one of the numbers to make it turn and avoid collisions whilst at the same time doing simple sums at the bottom of the screen. Left hand for one, right hand for the other. That is probably the hardest test I have ever had to do.

What were you graded on. The sums that were correct or the number of airline collisions avoided? :)

Funny how people confuse overbooking their schedule with multitasking. That's just poor time management.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Yes, but most people don't consider such involuntary* actions to be a "task" in the discussion of multitasking. * That would be definition #2 - like how the body takes care of breathing.

I remember an entertainer juggling at the same time an apple, an egg, and a bowling ball, then tried to take a bite off the apple (and not the bowling ball). Would that qualify? (oh, and he succeeded ;) )
