    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!

        Your statement is just another way of saying ‘Since I can’t do it, nobody can, and people who claim to are liars’.

        You do know that skilled chess masters can run multiple games at once, right?

          They don’t make a move in each game at the same time though, the moves are still made separately and sequentially. Almost like they are alternating between tasks…

      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.

      Its pretty funny how people will take a single low-population college paper over the evidence of their own experience.

      I multitask daily, I have to it’s part of my job.
