The truth is you can only do one thing at a time. You can try to do it quickly, but only one thing at a time. You can not be on the phone, filing, preparing a spreadsheet/presentation, answering a colleagues request, and out going to get bossie's lunch.
Exactly. There really is no such thing as "multi tasking" in the way some managers use the term. I can have multiple things to do in a set amount of time, but I cannot be doing them all at the
same time. I can't have five tasks which take ten minutes each and have all of them completed within ten minutes total!
