      “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.

        It depends on the definition I guess. I would consider driving a car to be multitasking. But doing three different office tasks on my laptop feels more like context switching as someone dubbed it here.

        But I’m just some dude it’s not like I’ve read any papers on it but that’s what it feels like for me.
