    Nobody can multi task. I wish this stupid myth would die.

      “I’m good at multitasking” is just another way of saying you can’t focus on one thing at a 🐿️ SQUIRREL!

      Multi-tasking should rightly be called “context switching”. Your brain is alternating its focus between two things in extremely quick succession.

      I have ADHD and have the opposite problem most of the time - I can’t keep myself on one thing.

      What about the left brain right brain simultaneous use, like people drawing two pieces of art at once or like how I can walk and be on my phone while being completely aware of my surroundings.

      Sometimes my brain is thinking in one space and my body is doing another. Like I hit auto pilot and stepped away from the cabin, yet the plane is still flying.
