Nobody can multi task. I wish this stupid myth would die.
"I'm good at multitasking" is just another way of saying you can't focus on one thing at a 🐿️ SQUIRREL!
SQUIRREL? WHERE?!
I'm not easily distrac... - oh, wow, a blue car!
Multi-tasking should rightly be called “context switching”. Your brain is alternating its focus between two things in extremely quick succession.
Can I tune my brain scheduler?
Yes, sadly it is running in Windows Task Scheduler.
Can't upvote this enough, I have had ppl literally bragging to me about their ability to "multi-task" 🙄
Or you hate when ppl can walk, talk and eat at same time
Ew you talk with your mouth full
Ew you can't multitask
I have ADHD and have the opposite problem most of the time - I can't keep myself on one thing.
What about the left brain right brain simultaneous use, like people drawing two pieces of art at once or like how I can walk and be on my phone while being completely aware of my surroundings.
Sometimes my brain is thinking in one space and my body is doing another. Like I hit auto pilot and stepped away from the cabin, yet the plane is still flying.
