Over Multi Tasking

Personal, rants 28 June 2008 | Comments

This is what gets me annoyed sometimes.

You how you say a woman can multi task a lot easier than a man. Yes it is true – for some. But sometimes I really hate multi tasking. Especially when it involves people asking me to do things which is not really my job or purpose anyway and yet I help them anyway because i’m doing it as a favour. And then when I do that favour, they start rushing me.

The thing with a lot of us, is that we are impatient, and because of that we always end up asking people to hurry up. Finish something up faster. Come on move move move, what are you doing just standing there doing nothing. And then even worse is when they ask you to hurry up cause they want something out fast, and you can’t do anything about it.. because hey the net is down or there is something wrong with the computer. Like it kena (got hit by) virus or maybe the comp hung.

I mean arrrghhhh…

Sometimes I would almost think we don’t have even enough time for some ‘personal business’. Hence we just bring it all out with us.

Then worst of all, is because you multi task too much, i get very frustrated and then i can’t really focus. When you can’t focus you end up making mistakes or your brain will go on a freeze and you just can’t seem to think straight.

Just….. arggghhhhhhh…. enough!!

To multi task or not to multi task. That is the question!

    Lol, I don't think I've seen anyone try so hard to get a link right :P thanks for the effort Julian and of course multitasking will never be as effective as focusing on one thing.. Take for example, being very active in a number of things like say music, sports and studies... you would like to be master of all, the reality is that you can't be master of ever single one.. not unless you are some kind of 'demi-god' ;)

    Sorry, that is the correct link but the reference to multitasking is not very clear. This one (<a href="http://clearinghouse.missouriwestern.edu/manuscri..."><a href="http://clearinghouse.missouriwestern.edu...has a lot more information. The basic point seems to be that although multitasking is usually more inefficient than doing one task at a time, "men and women are both equally productive in the area of multitasking, women make fewer mistakes. "

    I'm not surprise most would prefer just looking at one thing.. Very well too that it should be. Also I can't seem to go to the link you sent to me.. is the correct on? I ended up with a free dating service tips page.

  • aronil
    yeah i do to, but even trying to force my head to focus on one thing sometimes also doesn't work lol. I end going back to multi tasking :S
  • Simon Seow
    I prefer to focus task one by one. Can't get work done if multitask.
  • aronil
    hehe no wasn't sad, just a bit frustrated at that time. yeap.. the better thing would probably be wasting time lol.. doing something which shouldn't be done like playing, or watching... ahem.. really cool.. ahem.. anime :P
  • aronil
    hahahaha at least you admit it :P but some men do know how to multi task.. actually all ppl do lol, just depends what is their level of ability heheh. :P
  • YM
    haha..dun be sad.. studies have shown that a person actually spends more time multitasking than doing one thing at a time. That's bcos as u say, not many can focus, plus u will be doing something better one thing at a time. :P
  • joshuaongys
