Are You A Good Multitasker
hi i’m vanessa from speak english with
vanessa calm and today we’re going to
talk about something that maybe a lot of
you do but do you succeed doing it let’s
talk about it
the word for today is multitasking what
is multitasking multitasking is when you
do several things at the same time for
example maybe you are listening to
English music while you are reading an
English book or you’re watching this
video while you are trying to finish
your homework or you’re writing an email
while you’re watching this video or
multitasking could be you are driving
and talking on the phone at the same
time this is multitasking now a lot of
people think that when you multitask you
can get a lot more done with a short
amount of time and maybe it’s possible
for some people so some people are good
multitaskers you could say I’m a good
multitasker or I’m not a good
multitasker I’m not good at multitasking
so some people who are good at
multitasking can do several things at
the same time and they do all of them
pretty well but some people may be I
would say the majority of people do best
when they’re focusing on one thing so
let me give you an example from my
personal life in my life now I’ve got a
lot of exciting projects going on I just
finished writing an e-book there’s an
audio version to that ebook you can
click on the links below to get those
and I’m also making some videos with my
husband and expression videos for our
new course 30 days of English that’s
coming out on June 1st and so excited
about it but there’s a lot of tasks to
be done it’s a lot of exciting tasks but
there’s a lot to do so many days I’m
multitasking I’m doing three things four
things sometimes five things at the same
time and you know why it’s not very
efficient and at the end of the day some
I feel overwhelmed and when you feel
overwhelmed it’s not a good place to be
if you want to be creative so my
question for you is if you are um if you
are multitasking do you feel overwhelmed
is it good for you to be multitasking
are you a good multitasker for me
sometimes I can multitask but sometimes
it’s just not a good idea I need to
focus on one topic so I want to know
when you multitask when you feel
overwhelmed what kind of things do you
do to stop feeling overwhelmed I’m going
to talk a lot more about this in my blog
post so make sure you click on the link
and go to speak English with Vanessa
comm to look at the blog post and read
some more examples about being
overwhelmed and what you can do and
hopefully this will help you in your
english studies as well as in your
personal life thanks so much for
watching and I’ll talk to you later good
bye
you
