Multi-Tasking

By --Deb on

btt button

Do you multi-task when you read? Do other things like stirring things on the stove, brushing your teeth, watching television, knitting, walking, et cetera?

Or is it just me, and you sit and do nothing but focus on what you’re reading?

(Or, if you do both, why, when, and which do you prefer?)

    I didn’t mention it there, but I always have books in my car in case of mechanical failure or traffic jams, too!

  31. Mama Zen

    I’m a definite multi-tasker. If I’m doing something “useful,” I don’t feel so guilty about my reading time!

  32. Walt

    I rarely physically multi-task. But I do find myself multi-tasking with actual reading–with numerous “open” books being read at once. (One at night, one for the restroom, one for work, the latest one to fully engage me trumping everything else til it’s finished…etc.)

    More in the post.

    I cannot multi-task and read. And I can’t even read more than one book at a time. I have to fully committ to one book to enjoy. But I love it! http://leahsthoughts.com/bookshelf/

    I mostly sit or lay in bed and read. I can definitely read with noises around me, even the television sometimes, but I can’t walk or do chores while I read (unless it’s an audio book). I’m also pretty good at reading with lots of interruptions. I also eat my lunch and read and I also listen to audio books while driving to and from work.

    Yeah, I do multi-asking. I use to read while cooking, watching TV, eating, and surfing the internet. I prefer to sit quitly reading my book, but I don’t always have the time to do so.

    That’s what audio books are for!
