I often ask myself whether I am a multitasker. The answer is not straightforward.
I wrote this text on the 25th of September, 2022. It was a day when I tried to analyze accounting things connected with my work while sitting at home in Brok. At the same time, I decided to write this text. Does it mean that I am a multitasker? I do not think so.
Still, I love switching between two worlds:
1) the world of numbers in accountancy, where each amount must be explained, and the balance sheet must always be balanced. Assets must always equal liabilities plus owners’ equity.
2) the world of art, including writing and photography, where anything must match.
When I see myself as a multitasker who is switching between two worlds, as mentioned earlier, I must admit that I am a person who can do many things at once. On the other hand, while working in the office, I always prefer to focus on one thing. It is much safer to finish the first and then start another. Still, whether in office work or our whole life, we sometimes have to multitask. I am only a human. I avoid multitasking in my life as much as possible.
Still, I do my best to multitask when I have to do it (or when one of the activities is things I love to do, like writing).
I often heard a theory that women have better abilities and capabilities to multitask. This theory may be correct. Throughout my life, I remember saying that I cannot multitask. I suppose that the situation has improved since I started intermittent fasting and taking cold showers. It is not the case that I can tell with 100% certainty that I am a multitasker, but I managed to become closer to this level.
