The benefits of being a Multi-tasker

Today I was chided by a friend for my lack of recent blogs.  My response:  I have been busy being a Multi-tasker.  The proof?

Today while looking for jobs on Craigslist, I was also proving that I have too much free time on my hands.  "How so?" you ask.  Well, in my search for gainful employment I came across a post for HowCast.com [exit job search].  "Why's that important for me to know?" you ask.  Because this is an informative website that can teach you a whole lotta informational things.  For instance, I now know how to do Buddhist meditation while walking (how's that for a good use of your time?).

"Okay, so this website sounds informative," you say, "but what else makes it so special?"

Well, because this particular website is perfect for anyone who refuses to show weakness in public.  Sound intriguing?

Consider how it would look if you were in the "How-to" section of your local bookstore.  That's right (Insert you favorite sound effect for "epic failure").  With the help of this website, you can find all that same information, while avoiding any potential social awkwardness.  No one knows what you looked up; no one knows that you had to look it up.  Be informed without showing any effort.  That's Multi-tasking!  Also, all the info is in video format, which is great for those of you that don't know how-to read.

Want more?

In the interest of the upcoming weekend, I have compiled a few of the most informative "How-to" videos from the site.  NOTE: these are for those of you that don't consider your days off worthy of spending time in a library or going to church.  In a related "multi-tasking" note, by watching these online, you too can prove that the internet is useful for more than just porn and blogging.  Enjoy:


How to Get Laid (if this sounds a little too advanced for you, try this.  [P.S.  The "getting laid" link requires signing-in to the site;  I promise it is worth it]).

So you're almost sold, but not quite.  "Okay," you say, "but what's the lesson in this? and how can I can use the information to become a highly-functioning multi-tasker?"  Well, here it is:

Multi-tasking increases productivity, and nothing makes life satisfying like knowing that you are being as productive as possible, right?.  Right!  Now get out there, aspiring Multi-tasker, and do two things at once this weekend!  Put what you have just learned to good use AS you shovel down those bellinis and shots of jagermeister!
