Mentally. Things like talk on the phone, play a game, and listen to someone else talk. Or read, listen to someone, and eat. Things like that. I've heard that women are better at it than men.

I am very, very bad at it. I can't do two things at once to save my life. When I do something I focus on it very deeply. I can't handle too much input at one time. That's why I'm bad at really fast video games with crap happening all over the place.

So how good are you at it?

Pretty well actually, I can play guitar while playing CS while having a DVD playing on one of my TVs and watching CNN on the other :)

I don't talk and do something else well at the same time. I think women are better at that kind of multitasking.

I had a boss a few years back (female) that would talk on the phone and write a message to me on paper about something completely different at the exact same time! :confused:
