Carly,
I think we can all multi task, it just depends on how many things you want to tackle and how you keep track of it. Try reducing the number to three or a manageable number. My advise will be to start small and as you get better with say two or three tasks at a time then add one. You will know what your limits are automatically. Also for projects that need planning, perhaps using a checklist also helps to keep track of what has to be done in a step by step basis. Also try using a time block system where you assign each task a time frame and divide those tasks based on the time alloted or the time they will take to completed using a checklist. Hope this idea helps you.

I am cooking, doing laundry and making lunches at the same time. Someone inevitably ends up with extra treats and no fruit in their lunch. The clothes in the washer are forgotten as are the ones in the dryer. As for dinner, there are the veggies or salad that I forgot to serve. Maybe I'm not a multi-tasking personality. Or maybe I pick the wrong tasks to juggle.
