Men are not natural multi-taskers, so I hear. I began to agree with that statement until recently. I've often called myself a multi-tasker, but I've always assumed that my capacity to do that had more to do with my upbringing. I enjoyed my childhood, but there is no question that organization, obedience, and achieving tasks were all big deals in our home. I like being active, so being active and fulfilling my requirements at home required multi-tasking. I continued multi-tasking through college. Since then I've gradually decreased my tasks and, therefore, became less a multi-tasker. Now, with eight weeks until my semester ends, I find myself almost constantly multi-tasking. I don't think it's really a great thing, either. Even when I don't have to, I find myself doing many things at once. Sometimes I've even found myself thinking about three or more things at a time, even in my "down" time or personal time. Am I becoming a chronic multi-tasker?
