The secret to multitasking is that it isn't actually multitasking. It's just extreme focus and organization.

I'm not good at multitasking.

Multitasking? I can't even do two things at once. I can't even do one thing at once.

If you try to multitask in the classic sense of doing two things at once, what you end up doing is quasi-tasking. It's like being with children. You have to give it your full attention for however much time you have, and then you have to give something else your full attention.

I'm quite good at multitasking, but I have to do things immediately.

I think women are really good at multitasking. Men just cannot do it.

When you multitask, you believe you're being exceptionally productive, but really, you're fooling yourself. Each time you switch tasks, you have to backtrack a little and remind yourself where you are in the process and what's next. Invariably. you are spending twice as much time on parts of the task.

Multi-tasking arises out of distraction itself.
