I'm only allowed on 2 restricted sites (counting this one), and I have e-mail, but I still hop around on them, doing nothing, just enjoying being online, and wasting time. Now that school has started, it is hard for me not to just DO MY SCHOOLWORK, I also have to check my e-mail, and both websites, EVERY TIME. Gotta stop that! That is going on my "goal" list!! (along with getting up earlier!) Thanks for the post! This is very true. I’m only allowed on 2 restricted sites (counting this one), and I have

Just before I went to this particular post, I had checked my email for probably the 8th time since I've been on this blog. There was nothing there, by the way. :-) But, yes, I definitely see this in my own life. Mostly limited to doing two or three things at once, but it's still there. A lot of the time all it is is laziness. "Oh, while this screen is loading, I'll go check my (email/Facebook/MySpace/whatever)." Definitely a problem with short attention spans. Oh my!

Today I was checking my email, looking on several websites for info about a minivan my family hopes to buy, purchasing business cards, and looking at some cool knifes. All at the same time, thanks to the wonders of tabbed browsing. I realize that this behavior can at times be useful, but at others end up causing trouble, say when I am supposed to be studying for college, or doing my math. I need to get offline, and get my school done! Thanks for the blog! Jesse Hi, my name is Jesse, and I am a multi-tasker.

In fact, this is one of those times. I'm only allowed on our PS2 when I play DDR(Dance Dance Revolution), and I've never even been able to use anyone else's cell phone. I rarely watch TV. But I do multitask sometimes. It's partly the fault of the media and every electronic company and corperation, but it all boils down to our choices.

Kirton II Sun, 17 Feb 2008 04:00:57 +0000 http://www.therebelution.com/blog/?p=398#comment-196580 GENERATION M-MULTITASKING I am a 43-year-old male who graduated from Bible college with a BA in Bible, minoring in Youth Ministry and Biblical Languages. While listening to Albert Mohler's podcast, I was introduced to your late podcast and blog/forum/Website. As a studier of youth ministry, I keep tabs on things our youth their culture are doing. In your article re multitasking, I cannot help but wonder if it is we adults who should share the part of the blame for our next generation of multitasking youth. In an age where credit card debt is begun by attempting to "keep up with the Joneses", climbing the ladder of material success, having double-income families to afford putting our children through the best of schools (e.g. re-living our dreams through them!), are we not teaching our children and perpetuating the cycle of our "success" through multitasking? I know that for me, I have found the same conclusions you have drawn: multitasking can lead to less effectiveness in ALL attempted tasks! Thankfully, such books as Getting Things Done by David Allen has helped me focus more at work. GENERATION M-MULTITASKING

A normal night for me consists of IMing people, emailing, working on school papers, and watching TV or listening to music. I think maybe I need to slow down now. Thanks so much for this post!

I am looking forward to the next one. I have noticed that it is getting harder for people to stay focused on one task without taking a break to do something more entertaining. This is sad since we get the most out of our activities when we spend large blocks of time focusing on one thing at a time. This post is good! I am looking forward to the next one.
