Multitasking

As people in our modern world, the new word, "multitasking" has become common. We all seem to be multitaskers in our present day, fast paced lifestyles. Even mothers with young children who don't work out in the workforce are defined as multitaskers, and surely they are. However we all are today. School children seemed inundated with after-school activities and sports of all kinds, plus their homework. On the weekends their also have sports practice if they belong to any kind of team, and lots of them do. I also hear parents talking of running their elementary age school children to one place and then another for birthdays, bowling, camping, and other group oriented interests even on the weekends now a days. As a becoming storyteller, graduate school, my career as an overseas school librarian, many activities at my church in Okinawa, Japan, and a weekly moderate exercise plan added into my schedule as well, I find myself multitasking daily just to keep abreast of what I need to do in each discipline. I have decided that storytelling and continued education in that will be a lifelong process, added into my schedule and into my life. Multitasking then, will be a fact of life for me as a storyteller and a single lady on the go, until I drop I guess!
