Have you never been in a situation where your mind tells you to do many things at once, but you have to stop and choose one to physically do? a flood of thoughts, that trigger a moment of a call to many actions, then either.. none are done out of sheer exacerbation and we give up, or one is settled on out of the need of necessity of having to get something out of the way before we can move on.
Having said that.. sometimes multi-tasking is the only option we have due to time constraints, and more than one task can be undertaken, but with a necessary focus applied to achieve the feat.

First multitasking is not dependant on being conscious of both actions at the same time. Second the sex difference on multitasking is a myth.MagsJ wrote:bahman wrote:I can do only one conscious act at any given time.

..I cannot remember where or when, but I do recall a male acquaintance attempting to multitask and failing miserably, as he simply couldn't mentally achieve his goal, then he gave props to us females for being able to.. although some men can, but not to the extent of we.

And multitasking is generally a bad choice, though with employers acting the way they do these days, few of us can avoid it and the bad side effects of it.

The reason for that may be evolutionary and while it may not confer advantage today it would have been important at other times in our history

Ultimately nothing at all matters but some things matter more than others while we are here while everything else is merely distraction
And so I keep said distraction to a minimum while keeping myself busy as Nature slowly counts down the time left to me in this existence

I have had it for about seven years and like most things that come into my mind I just let it be
