Multi-tasking
While this is a medical website, I do like to offer some self-help information about life on the blog. After all, I am a psychologist. One of the questions I am commonly asked by people who know me is "How do you do everything you do?" In other words, how do I write all the patient reports I do, publish research, exercise, run a website, raise two children, spend time with my wife, do house chores, mow the lawn, watch movies, read books, surf the net, listen to my ipod, etc? The secret is … multi-tasking! There are too many things to do in life that if you try to do them one at a time, it is tough to stay productive. So while I am exercising, I am also watching a TV show I like or reading a book. While I am working on my website I am downloading music to my ipod. While I am mowing the lawn, I am listening to episodes of my favorite talk radio show. Don't get me wrong, I don't multi-task everything. However, if you multi-task a bunch of things in your life, you'll find that you can accomplish a lot more than you would have otherwise. Click here for the next multi-tasking post.

How do you read a book and watch tv at the same time? Doesn't that ruin both? or do you read in between commercials? just wondering. :)
great idea while mowing the lawn. My husband actually just likes the outdoor experience of mowing the lawn. To each his own. :)
Hi Seaspray. Thanks for coming back to post again. I never read a book and watch TV at the same time, but will read a book and go on the exercise bike at the same time. Or I will go on the bike and watch TV at the same time. Hope that clarifies things.
Hi Med Fiendly-Thanks for answering...I see I mixed that up. :)
I hope you don't mind if I blog roll you.
Ahh- multi-tasking. Get lots of things done, while experiencing none of them.
It's sad that we increasingly find we don't have time to savor moments of life, even if they are only mundane ones. After all, isn't life what happens to you while you are busy making other plans?
The secret to staying in shape is to establish that you cannot watch a TV show without being on the treadmill. More exercise, less TV, big improvement.
