You cannot chase two rabbits at the same time

The fine art of multi tasking
Can you chase two rabbits at the same time? Women certainly can chase two rabbits at once, considering our natural ability to multi task and successfully do more than one thing at a time. Men on the other hand are able to really focus on one activity or task at a time. Thus if you want  a male to complete a task whether it be changing a light bulb, mowing the lawn or doing the shopping, instead of overwhelming him, give him one task and he should complete that one task successfully unless distracted along the way. However men are able to multi task when it comes to watching sport and drinking beer or braaing and watching sport at the same time. I guess they need a bit of credit as braaing and holding a beer in hand are two tasks which need much co ordination.

Do you think women are better multi taskers or is this just a generalisation? Personally I do feel that women are the better multi taskers as they need to manage the home along with holding down a job which may involve climbing the corporate ladder. There are those men who in any situation are the exception to the rule and when put to the test multi tasking comes naturally.

Multi tasking is an inherent ability in most women which is a quality that should be embraced. This is one technique which men definitely can watch and learn and give credit where its due, as quite frankly the world without women would be, extremely boring.
