Satori Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 (edited) If so, share what you're doing! I seem to always find myself multi-tasking on the computer. I usually have two different browsers open with at least 10 windows up. Thank goodness for tabbed-window browsers! I am... Reading WTM (doh) Merging two PDF files using a free service (Adventures in America didn't send their first files with cover pages) Researching piano lesson books (Faber? Alfred? something else?) Compiling a read-aloud list Researching read-alouds Listening to Pandora (mix of all my faves) Looking into Shelfari or a way to track read-alouds Reading a teacher's forum Researching Kathi Appelt Synching up iPad Adding books to Audible Wishlist (just joined yesterday, got $100 Amazon discount!) Researching all of the above on Amazon Edited July 19, 2011 by Satori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eternalknot Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I read WTM when I'm waiting for other applications to do their things. Right now I'm waiting a response email, and am killing time here :) I keep it simple though - two things at a time, no more LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satori Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 last but certainly not least...... Your Blog!!!!! ;) Hehe, you made me chuckle. Sometimes I think I spam it here too much, but I'm only trying to be helpful. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleIzumi Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I am currently only nursing ds and on WTM, since ds is miserable, whining and wiggling and thrashing and popping off and on so he is taking up a good chunk of my attention. Usually I have at least 5 things going at once, but the girls are at a park date and I haven't turned on my background noise yet, and the info I was researching, well, their site is down for maintenance. :glare: I will be reading up on next week's school in a bit, and doing dishes with Firefly on with ds asleep in the carrier once he passes out nursing.

LittleIzumi Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Ah, baby fell asleep so back to normal. At least four things going at once on the computer plus three extra tabs open for later activities (open house tonight, cancelled appt that I need to call about, dinner that's in the crockpot), sent an email, checked something for dh, skimmed a link I found here, etc, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annie Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Does nursing a toddler to sleep on my lap count as multitasking? It's very odd for me not to be multitasking, so this is probably the calmest part of my day. I'm usually far to ADD to do one thing at a time.

CAMom Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I am eating breakfast reading here reading the FIAR boards IM'ing with dh to find out how his dr. appt went this morning fielding a million questions from my 5 year old who is reading over my shoulder ;) And, now, I'm going to go take a shower which will make the 5 year old happy because he can have some time on my iPad to keep him out of trouble while I'm in there!:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annie G Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I'm eating lunch, browsing here, talking to dd, and reworking our Netflix queue. Since none of this is really useful, I call it multislacking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Right now: *I am reading posts on here *eating lunch *writing an email to my cousin *taking notes to help with the lesson planning I will be doing in about 10 minutes *trying to find my employment insurance code that I had on my desk yesterday and now can't find *adding titles to my amazon shopping cart *making a shopping list of items to look for at the dollarstore tomorrow After I am done eating, I will be ditching the desk and computer and heading into the kitchen to watch tv, do lesson planning and wash the dishes (rotate back and forth between lesson planning and dishes while I let them air dry), so fewer things.

My Three J's Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Amazingly, nothing! Usually I am though. When I was here earlier I was checking the weather site because there was a storm coming through, listening to a baseball game and texting a friend. If I am on the computer downstairs I am in the middle of the family action and often am doing more than one thing. Right now, though, the kids and my husband are in bed, the house is quiet and I am too sleepy to do more than just what I am doing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalanamak Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Right now I am researching camp sites for the boy's summer trip, making reservations, telling my family when we'll arrive at the family reunion, communicating with my real estate agent (we are supposed to be closing tomorrow), looking up and jotting down the numbers for the utilities I'm to cancel as soon as I get word, discussing the vocabulary of the DVD (the Errol Flynn Robin Hood), and cooking. Got to go check the rice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacia Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Reading this forum Eating silver points (really Hershey's Kisses, but my Grandpa always called them silver points & I just love that name) Drinking coffee Ah, the perfect combo of multi-tasking... :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wapiti Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I call it multislacking. :lol::lol: Love it!! (that's me :001_huh:;)) Lately I've been noticing that if I attempt to post while making dinner, I will (1) burn the dinner, and/or (2) say something more stupid than usual in my post.
