Are you a multi-tasker?

I am not. I do my best work when I concentrate on one task only. If I try to jump from one task to another, I forget what I was doing and just waste a lot of time trying to pick up the pieces.

Yes I am. With 23 houses under construction at a time. It is a necessity.

The only times I'm not multi-tasking is when I'm sleeping and when I'm really engrossed in a good book. Other than that, the more the merrier.

I got caught multi tasking a few weeks ago. I was sleeping and working at the same time. Had my feet up on the desk and all. I was discovered by the CEO. Thankfully he was in a good mood. He didnt even wake me. When he did mention it, he was laughing. He said he was in my office 30 minutes, all I did was start snoring when he walked in. Glad he likes me.

I'm a multi-tasker, i can't help it, i can never concentrate on just one thing at a time, if i try i just get confused or stop what i'm doing....

The only time i'm not multi-tasking is when i'm reading something, or sleeping, any other time..i'm always either thinking about something other than what i'm doing, or actually carrying on several tasks at once.
