I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately since I returned to work from maternity leave. I am an executive assistant and I support three directors so you can imagine multitasking is my life, a skill I bring to my job and sometimes the only way I can ensure my three bosses needs are met.

In reply to Veronica Cervera. The key is learning what we can effectively multitask and what we cannot. For me it involves paying close attention to the results I get when I multitask, and exactly what I'm doing.

There is a point when it becomes too much, we are likely to screw it up if we do so many things altogether. Especially when were dealing with business, I would mind spending a little bit more time doing a task and doing it well than finishing it faster but making huge mistakes along the way.

Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast. 🙂

Huh, that explains why I can read and talk or comb my hair and brush my teeth. Thanks for the advice! Is it wise to sing to a familiar song while driving?

In reply to Gail @ Support Bloggers. Just wondering, but the what type of sequence are the #'s 1,2,4,8, etc. I thought they were fibonnochi before remembering you added the # before the current, not doubling. Is this just doubling?

So, the research shows that both woman AND men can multitask – all you need is a brain! 😀 Jokes aside, what this research tells me, is that it can be learnt. If you want to be able to do it, you can learn how to.
