    Maybe a hot take, but this goes for everyone. I see older people that can’t stay off their phones, and have little to no ability to multitask while doing it.

        “I’m good at multitasking” is just another way of saying you can’t focus on one thing at a 🐿️ SQUIRREL!

        Multi-tasking should rightly be called “context switching”. Your brain is alternating its focus between two things in extremely quick succession.

        Can’t upvote this enough, I have had ppl literally bragging to me about their ability to “multi-task” 🙄

        I have ADHD and have the opposite problem most of the time - I can’t keep myself on one thing.

        What about the left brain right brain simultaneous use, like people drawing two pieces of art at once or like how I can walk and be on my phone while being completely aware of my surroundings.

        Sometimes my brain is thinking in one space and my body is doing another. Like I hit auto pilot and stepped away from the cabin, yet the plane is still flying.

      Where I live older people don’t know how turn on phone. They watch tv instead. Those who have some sanity left also go outside, sit on benches, talk with each other and keep your bike from being stolen.
