Take me for instance, it is known to every woman I have dated that I cannot talk and drive at the same time, but thats not true, it is my excuse to not talk to whoever I am dating at that time, infact I am always on the phone while driving but with people I want to talk to.
Please don't let any woman know this excuse but it is an excuse, sometimes a man want to just sit without talking, watch TV or something, woman want all the attention all the time. ditto mlevi. women just wear us down with the never ending chatter. I also want my me time. TULIA.........UFUNZWE!

Driving the mat, taking a soda, talking on phone, keeping an eye on traffic police and listening to the conductors prompt for the next alighting passenger. If this is not multi tasking, I dont know what is. On the other hand, I have seen many women who cannot handle two tasks at a time. best example. I'm yet to see a woman spin some of these nairobi death traps. the multiple tasking involved is peculiarly a mans domain. TULIA.........UFUNZWE!

we are not discussing the 'TASK' but the ABILITY to multitask. It could be domestic or career based. So all these driving,calculus,diapers, are all irrelevant. A man who can for instance, drive,do calculus and feed baby all at once and the woman who does the same are both multitaskers. So is the career woman doing multiple things in the office, all at once and the masai woman in a manyatta. But I have heard men who say they can't cook and shower,drive and talk,yeah such. They can only stay focused on one thing at a time. Whateva.Just do your thing the best way you know how.no wahala. "The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.

women cannot perform certain tasks simply coz their multitasking ability is lower. a nairobi bus driver does so many subtasks to get the job done. that is a tall order for women. and on the domestic front, that is clearly not a mans dormain, and if it were, men would probably be better. problem is, few are as patient as women. TULIA.........UFUNZWE!

seen how in shags an old woman can be cooking,milking,cleaning,talking on phone,the neighbour,talking/singing to the cow/goat,while feeding it at the same time?
The man would be sitting by the fence watching cows graze.He can't add another task to that.
Women multitask on the domestic front esp,in order to save on time.
@essyk, How so? How do you cook, milk and clean at the same time? As in, the cow is in the kitchen? hahaha. Cutting the chase,let's down it to dual-tasking. Hii mambo ya multi-tasking is a fallacy. Have a look at a woman driving when changing lanes or or at a junction and tell me where that "multi-tasking goes. Mostly what happens, more so on @essyk's case, one task is abandoned when moving to the next,that CAN'T be multi-tasking. You have to finish milking before cooking or cleaning. One task at a time for women if your take away talking.

Perhaps it's a lie created to justify over working women. 'Atieno yo'.

I don't multitask!
Multitasking is for computers, and even them, unless it's more than one processor, each processor has to schedule/prioritize the tasks in some order and execute each one at a time.
Multitasking for humans is a fallacy.
Now let me get back to the next task!

Lol true that.But what else can be happening while you milk the cow? You don't have to finish one before embarking on another. You do what we call mental timing. Before you start the chores,know how long each should take. And then categorise them in your head.I am good at this cz it helps me plan. There's usually the MAIN work plus some other 'attachments'. The main work takes a longer time and so what you do is start it off,b4 picking on another. Why waste time sitting and waiting for rice to cook when I can be ironing at the same time? Now while the second work is progressing,pick on a 3rd one,b4 going to check on the progress of the main one. Most tasks get accomplished at the same time when you do these multiple things. Now you have to be chap chap to be able to do this. Its not for the lazy.  At the office the scenario is diff because each person has got his own work which they get paid to do so you can't go 'multitasking'like crazy. Lol Tycho Atieno washes dishes,
Atieno plucks the chicken,
Atieno gets up early,
Beds her sacks down in the kitchen,
Atieno eight years old,
Atieno yo."The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.
