Pictures this: I'm on the treadmill with my iPod on, cellphone in hand, laptop close-by. Flash to the basement: I'm folding laundry, watching the news, responding to emails between loads. Now imagine the kitchen: I'm packing lunches while helping my daughter practice her spelling words, pouring cereal, posting a blog, writing checks for the latest fundraisers.
Even though we wonder how we would get it all done without multi-tasking, doesn't it feel taxing? ...All this tasking on top of tasking on top of tasking? Some moms thrive on it, others run from it, but I think most of us have just accepted it as a way of life. It's nights like this one when I have run my life like this all day that I wonder if it's even possible to change.
What would life be like doing one thing at a time? It's actually hard to imagine. So take a deep breath, close your eyes, and just be quiet. It may just be a few minutes, but I bet you can do a lot less tasking and a little more relaxing.
