You Really Can't Multitask

[K8MHZ]

I tend to agree with the article. People who say they are multitasking are really just very quickly jumping from one complex task to another quickly and repeatedly. At the cost of a certain amount of depth and efficiency. ADD, really

I know a person that has ADD. They don't multi-task at all. They are very monochronic but only focus on any particular thing for short durations of time. They tend to start a project and not finish it before starting another. There isn't much of an appearance of multi-tasking, just jumping from one thing to the other. The person I know deals with it well and eventually finishes everything, it just takes several shots with lots of breaks in between to do it. I can't stand to work with her as I am just the opposite. I would rather spend 10 straight break free hours getting something done than start and stop repeatedly to get other projects under way.

See, that is one thing I like about you. I did not even have to explain what I was talking about and you understood. =D

No, seriously. There really is a difference.

All of our (healthy) brains perform the same functions and can do so simultaneously. All our brains cannot, however, perform the same tasks. A function does not require learning. A task does.

I just wanted you to know that I wasn't just messing with you.

Lol, I did not figure you were.

Well, ya know, there was that rain in Spain thing. I was just making sure we were past that.
