An epiphany inspired by Laurie Hinson

Thanks to the amazing Laurie Hinson I have discovered something about myself...I am a compulsive multi-tasker.

I hate doing one thing at a time, I feel like I'm wasting time and being too slow.

Which made me realize why I do a lot of the things that I do and why I hate doing certain things.

For example:

I txt while I drive, listen to music and usually talk while I work, watch tv txt and listen to music while I work out at the gym, have my lap top with me when watching movies, etc.

Then there are things I don't like to do because of this compulsive need.

Such as reading. I've never liked reading all that much. My mother used to pay me during the summer when I was younger, a penny a page for ever book I read so that I would actually do it. But I discovered that the reason I don't like reading is because I can't multi-task while I do it. Reading takes up all of my attention, if I try to think about anything else while I'm reading I will get to the end of the page and have no idea what I read. So my compulsive need to multi-task cannot be fulfilled while I'm reading and therefore I get frustrated and don't like to do it. I feel as though I've wasted the day when I sit in my room and read because I didn't accomplish anything but reading. Plus I'm such a slow reader it makes it even more frustrating.

There are exceptions to this in a few fiction books that I found very interesting and couldn't put down. (But those are very few cases.)

Well, now that I've put it off by writing this, I must go finish reading Driven by Eternity. It's a great book though so far, I highly recommend it whether you like reading or not.
