Multitasking: My Superpower (and My Favourite Flex)

I know what they say—"Multitasking is a myth." But I’m here to tell you: Not when I do it.

While some folks need absolute silence to draft a single email, I can whip up a deck, reply to 4 Slack threads, solve a crisis on a call, and still remember to follow up on the message I sent to someone 2 days ago.

They say chaos is a ladder. For me, it’s a to-do list.

How It Started

It began out of necessity. Small team, big dreams, zero buffer. I didn’t have the luxury to do one thing at a time. The only way out? Do five.

And over time, my brain started to like the juggle.

My calendar? A battlefield. My tabs? A festival. My WhatsApp, Slack, Gmail, and Notion? All open, all buzzing. Yet somehow, I know exactly where everything is.

Like a chef in a high-speed kitchen, I’ve learned how to stir the curry, chop the veggies, and shout out the next order—simultaneously.

The Trick Isn’t Doing It All. It’s Knowing What Needs Focus.

Multitasking isn’t about chaos. It’s about clarity.

You don’t answer complex product questions on autopilot. But you can clean up your inbox while listening in on a low-stakes update call.

You learn to switch lanes without slowing down.

And when something critical hits the fan? You drop the noise and laser in. That’s the real flex—knowing when to not multitask.

People Ask Me: "Don’t You Burn Out?"

Sure, the engine gets hot. But I know when to reboot. I know my cut-off points. I know when I’m riding a productivity high, and when I’m just mindlessly tab-switching.

It took time to learn. But once you find that groove, multitasking becomes more than a skill.

It becomes rhythm.

Still Improving, Always Prioritising

I’m not saying I’m perfect. There are days when balls drop. But most days? I’m dancing through deliverables, killing timelines, and making it look smooth.

So when people say, "You have too much on your plate," I smile.

Because honestly? I brought my own buffet.
