I am often posting on here, observing/responding on the SB, having numerous convos over msn, playing on my ps2/ps3, listening to music and talking to people irl.

I suppose that's me.

I can do afew things at once, but it doesn't always turn out right. I can be playing on my PS2, chat on MSN & post away on here, unfortunatley though I tend to get side tracked and die lots....I also blame my so called multi tasking on losing bids on ebay because I get distracted

I can't multi task when I cook at all. Things get burnt EVERYTIME. I remember trying to make up bottles when El was still a baby and alos trying to make chilli at the same time. Chilli got burnt

I'm quite good at it, but I can't do anything special, like write with both hands. I get frustrated with people who can't multitask sometimes. Like when someone is typing or writing something, and they just don't respond to you.

That tends to be more with older people though.

I'm not really that good at multitasking. I probably don't do it enough, though I work in my school's library second hour, so I'm always multitasking then. I have to answer the phone, checkout books, organize books, reserve classes for rooms on the computer, grab stuff for students, and answer questions most of the time at the same time. These events happen in short bursts though, so I can usually deal with them.

I also have to multitask in the morning when I'm running late. It's really hard to brush your teeth and get dressed at the same time. v_v

I whole-heartedly believe that males cannot multi-task. I don't count listening to music as a task really, because it's barely a taxing thing to do. I can't even use an ATM while I'm on the phone because I'll end up shouting my PIN number down the phone. >>

I can read and listen to the radio, eavesdrops on someone while listening to another person. Type while watching Star Wars and not look at the keyboard.

Actually, I would think that it's just some guys that aren't good at multitasking, because guys are usually either really stupid or really smart--very few of them are moderate. The ones that are really smart probably multitask their thoughts.

If you've ever seen a proof made by Gauss, you'll see what I mean--he consistently refers back to concepts that have been used at the beginning of the proof, and for other people to devise such a proof would require them to consistently keep that concept on their minds while thinking about something else.

These people can even think of thousands of numbers simultaneously.

Multi-tasking? I can: eat, listen to music, watch TV, play PSP, talk on MSN, talk in RL, pay attention to FFF and many other such forums and other sites, do homework, download files, etc... usually all at the same time.

... I feel like i'm wasting time when I'm not multitasking, of course, except when I'm stressed, which is not as often as I'm bored.

I can't multitask for shit. Most I can do at once is listen to music and type stuff on the PC. which i'm doing right now.
