The Myth of Multitasking

emily,

The humor of your quip asside, I’ve known women who think that they can multitask well, and indeed can better than any guy I’ve known. It comes with a dear cost. Care and stress. As stress mounts, you lose the ability to do things with care. It bites you in the end. Inevitably.

The traditional lifestyle of most women, housekeeping, does train them better for multitasking. But the relentlessness of it doesn’t train them how to relax. And that’s what men can do, with aplomb!

We should train each other as much as possible and find the middle ground, no?

Your first assignment is to go lie on the couch for an hour and a half!
