Steph, not belittling your talent at all and not saying that for some jobs it's necessary as in Booger and OldFart's explanation but not everyone who is being forced to multi-task can truly do it well. My students (I am sure there are some who do but not mine) with ADD do not multi-task. They would never complete any of the tasks. My thought comes from knowing that there used to be people and professions who worked best in this manner but wondering if this is necessary for everyone to do in these days and if it benefits every profession. If so I had better prepare my kiddos in a different way.
