Multitasking mahem

 So right now all I was trying to do was put together my latest post about whats been cracking the last few days and I’m watching Nicki Minaj’s VMA appearance, reading about Fearne’s engagement and Lily’s pregnancy, on twitter, facebook and reading SB.TV comments- and I’m not even the worst! Even trying to write this I’m thinking about books I wanna buy and new albums I wanna listen to, so much information to compute and ways to get the most out of everything that when it comes to managing my own time my concentration is rarely on the same thing for over 10 minutes. Sometimes I feel if I'm not doing at least 2 things at once I'm wasting time and I'll often end up reading about something completely unrelated to what I set out to find out about. This guy took not multi-tasking to the extreme by only ever doing one thing at once (to the extent of shutting his eyes during phone calls and eating alone) in a quest for the ultimate self-mastery.

With the freedom to self publish and inform that the internet gives us must come the perils of unending links, contributing to an increasingly A.D.D like society (watch my old interview with Wale to see attention deficit in full effect!). Although I sometimes feel like a victim of new technology, recent reports say we’re juggling it all successfully, managing to cram 9 and half hours of media into 6 actual hours, with 1/3 of our time spent straddling (teehee) more than 1 type of media at once. Our need to know everything and be constantly stimulated (get yer mind out the gutter!) by media that has seen outlets producing alot more content and while being paid alot less is an interesting one, with new reasons to verge off the path of doing-your-original-task invented daily, self discipline becomes integral. With facebook lowering exam results by 20% better get on it!
