Default Are you a multi-tasker?

Are you able to balance a few projects at once or are you the kind of person who can only focus on one thing until it's done?

I tend to have many tasks that need to be taken care of but really don't do well when trying to complete them. I'm better suited to do one thing and finish it, then move onto the next thing.

I thrive for chaos, so I must be doing several things at once nothing ever gets done on time but I get to bored doing one thing at a time

I'm up early and still a little groggy, so since Stone posted the same thing I tend to do, I'll just say "Ditto"

I used to be great at starting and completing several projects at one time until I got sick. After that, I've noticed during the past year or so..I've really had to concentrate on getting any one task done...much less several at one time.

It also depends on how much energy a person has. I'll admit after 40....I've had FAR less of it.

I am a multi-tasker. Sadly my computer is not.

Depends on the size of the project, but I admit I like better to havemore shorter projects to accomplish than just a long one.

I cannot concentrate for a very long time - I get tired quite easily.

I am a freak of the details. what I find hardest isn't focusing one one project but working faster. At least right now, I just can't work that fast - I'm there for a month already.

I have a project that happens to be a model of the USS Constitution (Old Ironsides) that I've been working on for close to 10 years now. To give you an idea of the intricacy of this project see below:

Image one: incorrect hull color, example of rigging


Another shot


My version will be in full sail so it's a really big project. I also made sure that it's watertight, floats, steers, and is perfectly balanced. I even painted the oilpaintings hanging on the wall in the officers quarters toward the rear of the boat.
