…are you really good at it? Sometimes I feel like this word gets used in place of people just having “multiple things to do” rather than doing multiple things at once.
Multi-tasking: The ability of a person to perform more than one task at the same time
Multi-tasking has benefits of course, yet last night I was experiencing some of the negatives…
Here’s how the situation went:
The television was on in the background–we weren’t really watching it. My roommate was showing me a slideshow of boys, which turned out very good and was quite entertaining. 🙂 I was talking to 2 people on MSN Messenger…a boy and my other roommate who just got home from Guatemala (Carrie–see her blog on the side!). To top it all off, I was eating Red Velvet cake too!
At the end, I wished I could have given each of them my full attention and focus to show how much I really cared and wanted to talk with them. At least, I believe I’m pretty good at multi-tasking so I was able to continue to do all of the aforementioned tasks. Yet, I want to be the type of person who is fully engaged and listens well to one at a time than listens okay to multiple.
There’s a few thoughts for you to ponder on such a FREEZING day 🙂 Stay Warm!
