Now that 99% of my social life is being performed virtually, I’ve discovered the advantages of multitasking. It’s not that I’m not listening to you - it’s that sitting still on the phone makes me restless and impatient. I got through large lecture hall classes in college by crocheting a massive afghan that I still use today. Think of these activities as ways to help me pay closer attention to you.
Things I have done while my phone was on mute: Squeegee my sliding glass door, inside and out Open packages Unload the dishwasher Make a sandwich Wipe out the microwave Draw in my bullet journal Floss my teeth Update our whiteboard Feed my parrot Dust the baseboards Eat a bowl of oatmeal Sort laundry Fold laundry Rearrange drawers Organize my desk Drink tea Wipe fingerprints off my tablet Chop vegetables Make a fairly large breakfast Wash the pans Have a sneezing fit Change into my gym clothes Make the bed Get in the elevator and ride down to the lobby Examine my hair for split ends Give my parrot a vigorous scalp massage Sweep the floor Look at your photo and wish we were together I’ve done a lot of things while I was talking to you with the phone on mute. One thing you can’t accuse me of, though, is texting anyone else at the same time. At least the only person I was talking to was you! Comments are closed.
