Multitasking Review

I would say, on a rate of 1 to 10, my multitasking effectiveness would be a 5. When I'm doing an assignment on the internet and i go and check my mail, I still would have been able to finish the project, but it depends whether I'm interested in it or not. If it's boring then I tend to wander off, but if it's fun than I would finish it in a few minutes. I would wander off to YouTube when the project is boring and listen to songs when I suddenly realize that I have to finish the project, but usually I finish it right away.

My distraction levels (like I said before) would be a 5 out of 10. If the project is boring I tend to search up stuff on Google, check my email or go on YouTube. But eventually I would finish it so my distraction levels are pretty much in the middle.

Strategies that I often use to prevent me from multitasking is to mentally tell myself to STOP MULTITASKING AND FINISH YOUR WORK and that usually helps a lot. But when that fails, I just close all my windows and try to concentrate and if that doesn't work, then I mentally tell myself to stop and so on.

My parents think that I spend to much time on the computer, and I only usually stop when they say so. Even when I'm doing my homework, my parents say that I take a long time to finish (probably because I multitask). Usually my parents put this lock on the computer (when a period of time where you don't shake the mouse, the login screen appears and I don't know the password) to stop me from going on again when I get off.
