It's the current buzzword for trying to do a lot of things at the same time and doing them poorly instead of doing one thing at a time well. |

Doing two things at once.
EXAMPLE - Eating your supper and writing something down on a piece of paper.
Alot of people say it is quite hard to multitask. |

It is doing more then one thing at one time. Like eating breakfast and doing and my homework and watching television. Why do you think that it can't be doing more thing at once? |

The first one. Your defn of exact is too limiting. Think of doing laundry and talking on the phone at the same time. |

Multi tasking is about doing different things at the same exact time for example if you work in an office, you might be typing a letter for your boss and answering the office phone at the same time or you could be in the process of faxing a document while answering a question for someone or looking for something for you boss in the roladex on your desk. |

Multi-Tasking is doing many things at the same time.
Like being on the phone and taking a picture of yourself.
Or walking your dog and being on your phone
Things like that.. |

It is doing several things all at once. You can do two things at once. Talking to a client on the phone while you cook dinner= multitasking. Or running on an eliptical machine while studying your textbook |

Multi-tasking IS doing different things but not at the same exact time but the same range of time. For example if you are on the phone while you wash your clothes you have been on the phone but you have done your laundry. A little strange question, isn't it. You don't need to know what multi-tasking is just do it? lol

for example. talking on the phone and typing on the computer at the same time. more info below |
|

I am, I said
|
Today I cooked dinner, did laundry, washed dishes, took out trash and cleaned the garage all at the same time.
I also shower, brush my teeth and shave simultaneously.
So multi-tasking IS doing different things at the same time. |

As it implies, doing multiple tasks at the same span of time. Example of multi-tasking would that you have 1 hour before you leave your home. But you have to do different chores like burn a cd, finish your home work and call a friend. Instead of just taking 20 mins to do each task at a time. You do them all at the same time. You call your friend. You put a blank cd in your cd burner. And while all this is happening at the same time you start your home work. That's multi-tasking. |

Think of it as being able to handle multiple responsibilities without "dropping the ball". For example, three coworkers might ask you to do three different things by the end of the day, and you have to be able to prioritize your tasks and not lose track of them. Some people do not have the attention span or focus to multi-task.
I used to think that was strange for employers to explicitly ask for "good writing and communications skills", but I've learned to my surprise that a lot of people have trouble composing a coherent and grammatically correct paragraph. |
