Actually i am not a multitasking person and i lost always the concentration when i do tow task at the same time. for example i can not keep my concentration hearing and understanding the esl podcast while i read the news from the CNN. I have read one article for couple of months ago, which said the female are more able to be multitasking than the male.. Does anybody know why??

I didn’t write along time, but now I have some reasons to do it. At first about multiscreening. I’m not good in it, but as we know Julius Caesar was profi in multitasking;) It’s not for all people. Maybe genius can do some jobs in the same time. I thinking that multiscreening for not so important deals such browsing and watch TV(as for me, I haven’t tv at all. It’s religions). Let’s focus on English!) and we’ll get more advantage and pleasure.

I have a offer, make a few podcasts with more dynamic music for lestning at the moning. I give up high speed for live from early moning and more positive music would be suitable. I like present music a lot! It’s familiar for most of us) And maybe at the end of podcast place some “free” songs and public text of it? There are songs with public license in the Internet.

I’m full of impatience 500th podcast! =) I hope we and your get pleasure surprises.

I read your blog for the first time. I’m not good at reading English though I can understand these sentences easily. I like difficult words explained by simple words.
I watch English news program for long hours. I often watch same news in the same day. I believe watching english news programs make my english listening skill better. But I become tired when I watched for long hours. So I often keep TV on and surf internet. And when I found a new information in the news program, I stop surfing internet and watch TV again.

I what i tend to is to do things at a time, try to save you eye energy, if you do it once i blue moon-no problem-it is true that those kind of machine require as to run and organize or schedule, but if we do if frequently- donot think you have best of both worlds- instead you are beating about the bush, and you can’t take benefit that you want.what i do in my daily life at Ministry of Human Rights- Kurdistan Rigional Government-Iraq. i have been saving alot of pod casts in our calibre web site-www.eslpod.com and bbc, and in my leisure time i listen to them, to improve my listening skill and vocabulary, also i do some reading in boring books like , International Relations and International Human Rights, cos those topics are helpful to broaden my knowledge in my career both as Human Rights Observer and International Relations specialist.

Hi Jeff,
Seems like you are watching me. All this topic is about me. I like to surf ESL blog and to watch a sitcom at the same time. But reading has bigger priority. Multitasking is a way to relax our brain a little after stressfull and hard working day. You are doing something but at the same time your brain isn’t working so hard as it could.

The way that Buddhism understand life is just enjoy every single moment and every single thing you are doing just that second of your existence.
Nothing more exist, no future, no past only this moment.
If you drink a tea take the best of the moment, enjoy it, see the cup, drink slowly, taste it carefully, live the moment completly. If you listen to a friend that is the real subject and the best thing to do, nothing more exist in that moment of your life.
That way of living give them the best of every single subject, enjoying every thing they do and always relax and peace in the mind.

I would like to be and to live that way, but it is not so easy as we need to grasp so many thing simultaneously that at the end
we have nothing.
But I have this way of thinking in my mind and like to stop, relax, enjoy a single thing as much as possible not thinking or doing anything more.
Yesterday night I was writing a letter to a good friend and nothing more was real, when I see the time it was 2.35 a.m. but I
didn´t care. I have a wonderful time. Yes last night I did as a buddisht., this morning I get up at 8 but I was happy remembering
all what I did and the good time I have.
Regards.

As I’m using my laptop for browsing the Internet and watching TV at the same time, therefore probably I should call it multiwindowing
Usually there is more then 5 windows opened at the same time, Windows Mail to check e-mails, Firefox to check and read new podcast, FlashGet to download podcast, Winamp to listen podcast, Windows Media Center to watch The The Simpsons (really), and few another tabs in Firefox to open some social web pages as Facebook etc, Skype and others communicators for chating. Am I in control of the computer or that devil machine is controlling me.
OK I have to go, The Simpsons are calling

I would like to be able to read your blog post and to do another thing simultaneously. This would mean that I would know very well the English language.

But, I’m afraid that I need to be with my five senses to be able to understand what you write.

To be honest, I’m understanding better and better, but it isn’t enough.
