A.
It's not that multitasking is a bad idea.
Computers usually do it pretty well these days.
Mostly because computers are fast and humans are slow.
Occasionally because some computers use their cores in parallel for something humans care about.
Thinking about my actions in terms of multi-tasking muddles concurrency and parallelism.
I can only focus on one thing at once.
That's not among my many moral failings.
B.
Juggling is not multitasking.
Juggling is juggling.
Things are juggled.
It's acceptable when the balls fall on the floor due to outside influence.
C.
Managing is attention to people and their needs.
People are not things to be juggled.
People are not activities to be mulittasked.
D.
Getting better at doing the things I do is not a matter of learning to multi-task.
It's a matter of getting better at the things I do.
It's a matter of learning to do the things.
A matter of time and experience like all learning.
E.
I have a heaping plate.
I think, "I need to multitask."
The heap just got higher.
