For anyone who thinks they need more room in their brain…
I’m a busy mum of two young boys. I work and run a house and, like a lot of mums, I find I often have about 50 million projects on the go at any one time.
Sometimes I feel like I need my head to be in three different places all at once.
The kids need this, work needs this, I promised my husband I would do this… As women, we are constantly multi-tasking. In fact, a recent study in the UK has found what we probably knew all along: women appear to be better at multi-tasking than men.
No surprises there. In fact, my husband and I often joke that he has the ability to only do one thing at a time. He does it well, but it’s only ever that one thing.
Meanwhile, multi-tasking for women is more of a fact of life – a coping mechanism for all the things we need to get done in the day. But all this expert multi-tasking can come at a cost.
