Do you multitask when quilting?

Sigh, I used to multi-task, but with age comes tunnel vision. If I try to multi-task I get side tracked and never accomplish anything. One thing at a time...one foot in front of the other...yep, that's the way I do things any more. :roll:

I have read a study that says women's brains are just more "plastic", meaning flexible, and just better able to multi-task. Actually, you aren't multi-tasking at all. You are just able to rapidly shift your focus from one thing, back to another, and on to another at a rapid pace. You can only focus on one thing at a time. It's the speed in which you can shift that focus, and still retain the thread of what you're doing in each area, that allows you to "multi-task". (I've actually researched this.) And not meaning to sound sexist, but women are much better at it than men are, and in my opinion, that's a learned behavior born out of necessity. Anyway, I wouldn't get anything done if I didn't multi-task! At least, not enough to suit me!
