Now I thought I knew what multi-tasking is, but then I successfully managed to confuse my self resently! So I thought I must share this thought and confuse all of you in turn! [Sorry about that could not resist it]
I can do a wide range of work as in where ever I go I find myself doing almost all the types of work that would be available. Which does not always classify in one category. So I have been called a jack of all trades quite a few times. This made me think that I can multi-task.
But.......
This bit of the story I sort of knew before but it sort of ... hit me on the head resently. I was really concentrating on some thing and some one wanted to ask me a question, well I didn't hear her until I was done with it and my brain came out of totally. The point is that when I concentrate on something really heard I don't see or hear any thing. But this is also conditional, Say all I have to do is copy some information from one place to another and there is a requirement to keep on doing this quite a number of times. This is a time when I can talk to people get invovled in the conversation going around. But say doing this write up or some other task demand my full attention I don't even know if I get killed on my seat.
So what does it mean? Can I or Can I not multi-task?
What do you guys think?
Can you multi-task? What do you think is 'multi-tasking'?
