I read and multitask constantly. I'll sit there and play a computer or video game and read or watch tv or whatever the heck it is I'm doing and read.

I can barely multitask.
I have found, however, that I'm competent at reading and walking at the same time. It comes in handy during school between classes. :]

I've also read while eating a couple of times, but my parents don't like that.
Lol, sometimes, I read so much that my dad threatens to throw away the book.
D:

But yeah. . . that's basically all I do. Otherwise, if I'm doing something while reading, I'll end up reading and neglect whatever I was doing.
And then I'll sit there for hours, reading.
So, generally, I don't multi-task while reading often.

I multi-task all the time, but not when I'm reading. I like to really absorb what I'm reading.

I mainly multi-task while doing things around the house that are managable with one hand. sweatdrop Otherwise, it's usually eating, drinking, or sometimes I'll knit while reading, yeah. surprised

Let's see. I read while...
~Watching TV.
~Eating.
~Talking on the computer.
~Talking on the phone. (won't do it to their face)
~Playing a video game.
~Reading another book. (it is possible)
~Doing homework.
~Babysitting. (Kid's usually eating or asleep)
~I'm supposed to be doing class work. (teachers are used to it, so they don't care)
~Walking.

Surprisingly enough, I can all these thing while reading without trouble. Well, except that one time I tripped on the stairs while I read and walked, but it was just one time!

I'd be too afraid of getting nail polish on my book to paint my toes and read. I already have nail polish on my keyboard.

However I can read and:
>Walk, of course.
>Hold a conversation.
>Eat and/or prepare food.
>Surf the internet.
>Watch T.V. My sister used to hate when I did that. She wouldn't let me borrow her books if I was going to watch T.V too.
>Change my clothes.
>Do my hair.
>and probably other things that I can't think of at the moment.

While reading, I've...
Walked,
held a conversation,
typed,
ate,
and even played a little soccer.

The last one was really hard. xp

I've tried listening to books on tape while doing other things so I can have my hands free, but I get too caught up in the book and end up listening more than working.

I don't multi-task when i read.

It's just me and the words on the page...
PostPosted: Tue Feb 12, 2008 4:48 pm


So, I actually can't walk and read at the same time. I've never been able to do that.

I have, however, read while:
-Knitting/crocheting
-Babysitting
-In class
-Eating
-Taking a bath

And I think that's all I have done while reading.

Let's see. I read and take notes in pre-cal sometimes. Today I was reading/posting. I've also read while watching TV and while singing in choir. XD That last one is hard to do.
