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

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

I'm a person of whim, and easily distracted. I don't like multitasking. When I'm doing one thing, I like to do just that thing.

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.

Good Lord - if I couldn't multitask, I don't know what I'd do.

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.

Multi-tasking arises out of distraction itself.
