Multitasking is the terror of the day (month, year, actually for the last decade). One way or the other, I’m not capable of serious multitasking. Fortunately, I’m retired and there are no deadly consequences if I’m not competitive in efficiency, convenience, and mobility. "Efficiency, convenience, and mobility", those are the fashionable but inferior substitutes for the basic ingredient of personal freedom - thinking. Multitasking inhibits, or rather it incapacitates brain to think while switching among different tasks. Multitasking handles switchable tasks not tasks in parallel. And guess what, here is my multitasking deficiency: I like to think what I am doing. My brain doesn’t do parallel processing; my computer does, of course.

The only form of multitasking I do well is multiquiting.
