Multi-tasking

Some people view being able to multi-task as a good quality to have, especially at work. However, others may think multi-tasking isn't always a good thing because you don't do that great of a job when you do two things at once compared to just focusing all attention on one thing. For me, I'm all for multi-tasking, since I'm much one myself. I am a multi-tasker and support it because there is always not enough hours a day to do everything. So many things to do, yet so little time, it seems. (Yeah, yeah, some may argue that you just have to dicipline yourself to have time management skills) But instead, why not do two things at once and be more efficient? You can get more done in less time. And who couldn't use more time nowadays?


Multi-tasking is frowned upon though, especially when it comes to driving, because it's unsafe. I recently read an Glamour article about driving and it said that women drivers think they're great drivers and can multi-task. I don't think I'm a 'great' driver, but I am guilty of multi-tasking in the car. I've done them all. I'd have to admit, I'm the 'typical' woman driver that drives and eats in car, puts on make up (mostly when I'm at a stop light or driving less than 10 MPH), texted or have been on the phone while driving, and even tried to write a card once in the car. (However, I have also trained myself early on to drive with one hand.) Yes, I know it looks bad on my part, but so what? (*Knock on wood* I haven't gotten into accidents or trouble yet) Are YOU going to give me an extra ten minutes to put on my makeup instead of doing it in the car? Are YOU going to give me an extra ten minutes of lunch so that I won't be checking the news and stuffing my face at the same time? Are YOU going to give me more time so that I can do one thing at a time instead of many things at once?! The answer is no.
