Would using your bluetooth connected phone, while surfing the Internet from the beach in your swim wear, enjoying the sun, be considered omnibasking?

There has been a lot of research on this multitasking thing recently. It turns out that we are shortchanging ourselves in many ways when we attempt to multitask. If our reason for multitasking is that we want to save time, we might want to rethink that. Research is pointing to the fact that we really can’t put out attention on more than one thing at a time, but, like the computer, we can flip from one thing to another rapidly. The cost, however, is that, unlike the computer, our brains need to have time to refocus on each task each time we turn to it. This refocusing time, actually costs us time in the long run. We may feel like we are getting more done, but the time wasted on refocusing really adds up in the course of a day. Not only does it take longer to complete tasks, but research is also saying that the results we get on all of our tasks are not nearly as good as they would be if we had focused on each of them exclusively.

Multitasking?

Reminds me...
We had a guy do “the trip to Sweden surgery” thing...and now he is a she (or at least he thinks so). Which, how he got so gender “confused” that he figured the BEST solution was to whack his **** off...well that logic completely fails me...but on to the the point...
So after the “trip to Sweden”...the employer had to make a special accomodation for him...her...whatever. So the employer built a WHOLE NEW BATHROOM, with shower and everything (no urinal...just the throne).
And it is now called the UNI-sex bathroom.
This has always bothered me on a number of levels.
I know what a UNIcorn is....one horn.
I know what a UNIform is...one attire that is the same for all.
But a Uni-sex bathroom? It can be used by anyone.
I mentioned to the boss (who was NOT to happy with the whole darn mess to begin with...leave it to me to stink up an already stinky situation!) that it really shouldn’t be called a unisex bathroom, as it isn’t limited to use by only one sex.
Actually, it should be called an omnisex bathroom...multisex bathroom...or a polysex bathroom.
...he wasn’t too delighted with the idea.
He told me to go back to work.

The master, doing nothing, leaves nothing undone.
If they are omnitasking and over 30 and not yet retired, they have failed. Many assume they will never retire and will work until they drop, omnitasking until the moment of nulltasking.
I am SO agrivated by people who are typing something else on the computer when speaking with me on a case.
It is as if the infernal multilayer billing of lawyers has now infested multitasking.
How about just calling it “skimming”. Trying to do too many things at the same time leads to nothing substantial being accomplished.
My grandmother used to say, “You can only do one thing at a time, well.”
