I would have to say multi-tasking is not for everyone, I say that because I have witnessed a few situations with observing others and myself as well. I would have to say I am not the best at multi-tasking but I can be pretty good at it. There is some things I can do while doing another and some that I cannot. I would say multi-tasking for me is too much work, also, I always end up confusing me and the person I am with. While driving If I get a call or text I will most likely answer both of them, but I don’t really use my phone much so you would most likely catch me listening to music or changing the song. When studying you will see me trying to focus on the work but I always find that during this time I have the least focus because studying has always been difficult for me. You might see me cooking, watching television, playing PlayStation, or most likely listening to music. My findings from the “try this out” section
