Today I am writing about multitasking, something I do often but of course it has pros and cons, so I asked Google what these pros and cons are here is what I was told, in my own words because that’s how I roll.
Surveys show that around 70–90% of people multitask in some form during a typical day, depending on how multitasking is defined. The most solid, recent figures come from workplace and digital‑device studies.
I listen to an audiobook each morning while checking emails and reading blog posts and during the day I may hove the TV on playing something on YouTube while working on the computer writing things like this.
However, research on attention and task switching suggests that multitasking is not always as productive as it appears.
One advantage of multitasking is that it can help people manage simple or routine activities more efficiently. For example, folding laundry while listening to an audiobook or walking while making a phone call may save time without significantly reducing performance. In these cases, one task is usually automatic enough that it does not require full attention.
Multitasking can also create a sense of momentum. When people have many small responsibilities, moving between them can help them feel productive and responsive. It may be especially useful in roles where quick reactions are needed, such as customer service, event coordination, or managing household responsibilities.
However, the main disadvantage of multitasking is that most complex tasks cannot truly be done at the same time. Instead, the brain rapidly switches attention from one task to another. This switching can slow people down, increase mistakes, and make it harder to remember details. The American Psychological Association describes these “switching costs” as a drain on efficiency, especially when tasks are unfamiliar or mentally demanding.
Multitasking may also reduce the quality of work. Writing, studying, problem-solving, and decision-making usually require sustained concentration. When attention is divided by notifications, conversations, or unrelated tasks, people may produce work that is less accurate, less creative, or less thoughtful. Over time, constant switching can also contribute to mental fatigue and stress.
So how many of my followers multitask and feel it is a pro not a con.
I had a good 8hrs of sleep waking up at 4.30am, it is only 8c or 46f, I found Tim already up, he was restless and unable to sleep.
Tim spent some time trying out his new welder and was happy with the results. He also made us a baked lunch and stated a few times how long it takes to do everything, he said it made him think of my nan and how long it must have taken her to prepare Christmas lunch for everyone. He also remarked about what a wonderful cook she was.
After lunch Tim finally hung the photos, I wanted but said he didn’t want to hang anymore up that high as he didn’t feel safe using the step ladder, he felt that he was going to fall. I said that’s ok if I ever want anything hung that high again, I will ask Sandy to do it.
I had around 8hrs of sleep last night my watch didn’t record it for some reason. It was only 10c or 50f at 5am but by 6.30am it had dropped to 7c or 44f. I had to sweep out before I unpacked the dishwasher and decided to sit listen to a book and check Emails.
I went for my walk but had to cut it short due to not feeling really with it and finding hard to pick my feet up.
Sue and I went to see Dave and he looked good, Sue took a photo of me and Dave.
Received a text from Dave saying how good it was to see me and Sue.
I had around 9hrs of sleep last night my watch didn’t record it for some reason, yet again. It is 9c or 48f this morning, I turned the heater on in the bathroom when I got up so the room isn’t cold when I go and have my shower and Tim turned it off, thankfully I noticed and turned it back on.
Went for my walk did half an hour and felt exhausted by the time I got home, also moped the kitchen and bathroom floors.
Sue has decided to do her shopping tomorrow instead of Thursday as she has her car booked in at the mechanics to find out why it is so hard to start.
I am not good this afternoon, I have a headache and feel very tired.
Had a good night sleep got around 9.5hr’s and it is 7c or 44.6f.
No walk this morning as Sue and I are going shopping and I have tossed a load of washing on and have to hang that up to dry and if I go for a walk, I will feel rushed.
It has been a warmish day, around 5pm the tiredness started but now at 6.30pm I am doing ok.
I managed to stay up till 8pm before heading off to bed.
Slept well had around 8hrs of sleep, woke to a wet morning the temp is 10c or 50f.
It stopped raining and I was able to go for a walk and post some letters.
I am so cold this morning around 10am I had to turn the heater on.
Around 9pm I was sitting here when I thought I heard knocking on the front door but wasn’t sure then I heard louder knocking at the back sliding door, I woke Tim up who was asleep in his armchair. It turned out to be Jessica, she came down to get some small bottles of Coke as she is at Tasha’s for the next couple of days.
Had a good sleep, slept for a bit over 8hrs, had a nice shower when I got up, I don’t shower every day because I don’t go out a lot, nor do I get dirty or even hot and sweaty so don’t see the point in a daily shower. If I don’t shower, I do have a good wash first thing in the morning.
Tim got a phone call asking if he could work today, he started at 11.30am and will finish at midnight.
It is now 9pm and I have had 3hrs of sleep, around 5.30pm I started to feel not with it as in extremely tired and unwell. So, I had Tasha come and help me get ready for bed and while I was getting changed, I decided to just go to bed. I must have fallen asleep very fast as the next thing I knew I had to pee and realised it was 8.55pm. I will stay up for an hour or so before going back to bed.
After I went back to bed I slept well till 4.40am when I got up and I feel good this morning. It is a cold 10c or 50f and I have the heater on but will turn it off soonish.
I have had a good morning, went for a walk and did the housework.
Tim didn’t get up till around 9am, thankfully it is a public holiday here so no work for Tim.
Dave has finally had his surgery so now he just needs to recover.
I slept well and got up at 4.40am, I had around 7hrs of sleep, it is 10c or 50f at 5.30am.
I was late going for a walk so only walked around the driveway as I don’t like walking on the road after 8am due to the amount of traffic. I also don’t like using the walker on wet grass.
Dave has at long last had his surgery and all went well, Sue and I may go and see him on Friday.
I stripped the bed and remade it with warmer sheets. I managed it but it wasn’t easy and left me exhausted.
Had a good night, I was up at 4.20am and had a shower straight after getting up. The temp this morning was 14c according to my phone, or 13c according to my watch and the laptop said 10c, this is normal and when I write the temp each morning, I pick a number like today I would normally say 12c.
It is a warmish day, I had two naps during the day, I did the usual housework as well as mopping the kitchen floor.
After that I sat in a darkish room and closed my eyes for 25 minutes.
Dave is doing ok, but not up for visitors yet which I get I have long thought when someone is in hospital really unwell people coming to see them may feel draining, especially if all one wants to do is sleep.
After lunch I decided I needed another nap this time I slept for 55 minutes and felt good afterwards.
I had a so-so sleep got around 6 & ½ hours, woke at 4.20am and got up at 5am the temp is 14c or 57f, it is wet outside but not raining.
I had trouble trying to dress ready to go shopping, I couldn’t put my pants on and just sat on the side on the bed staring at nothing till I thought to put my Beechband on.
After I did that, my mind became focus enough to ring Tasha for help, she came and helped.
Sue and I went shopping, no issues but as we were leaving the centre my feet started to feel heavy and I was glad to get home and take my shoes off.
Had a decent night, up at 4.20am washed and dressed, the temp at 5am is 14c or 57f, I managed to get 6 & ½ hours of sleep.
Sue and I have Dr appointments for our care plan reviews this morning. All went well spoke to the doc about the popping sensation and pain on the left side of my neck at the base of the skull.
Dave is being discharged today.
By 4pm I was so tired I had to close my eyes for 30 minutes.
I told Tasha not bother coming down tonight as I am fine and it’s cold and wet outside.
I slept well but was awake and up at 4am after having nearly 8hrs of sleep. It is 12c or 53f at 5am, one thing I like about getting up that early is having how quiet and still the morning feels.
Sue locked herself out of her flat this morning and had to ring Sandy who was still asleep and get her to take the spare key over and let Sue into the flat, it was 9.30am.
Sue and I went to Kmart so she could get a new lighter vacuum then we went to see Dave. He doesn’t look good, he was sleeping on the lounge, and I thought he looks old and sick. Both Sue and I thought the same thing.
Tim is at work today and won’t be home till around 1am.
Today I am writing about the Beechband, what is it you may wonder well it is a device to help control the symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease.
The Beechband works by delivering steady, rhythmic vibration pulses on your wrist to help calm and regulate movement, speech, and anxiety symptoms—especially for people with Parkinson’s.
It’s essentially a wearable version of a therapeutic tapping technique that its creator originally used manually.
It produces rhythmic pulsing vibrations (around 85 beats per minute in many cases). These pulses mimic a metronome‑like tapping that can help the brain stabilise movement patterns and reduce anxiety.
For some people, the effect is immediate, while for others it builds gradually over several weeks.
It can help with the following symptoms anxiety and stress, dyskinesia, rigidity, freezing of gait and other walking problems, speech difficulties, sleep issues and tremor of course.
However not everyone experiences the same benefits—some feel a big change, others only subtle effects, and some none at all.
You wear it on your wrist (or try switching wrists or even the ankle if results vary). Turn, it on and ignore it—most people stop noticing the vibration after 15–30 minutes.
It is recommended to use it daily for at least 6 weeks to judge whether it helps. Friends or family often notice improvements before the wearer does.
The vibration can be loud for some people; the battery life is often short around 3–4 hours.
Some users report major improvements in gait and freezing; others report no change.
The Beechband is a non‑medical wearable that uses steady vibration cues to help regulate movement and reduce anxiety. It doesn’t treat Parkinson’s itself, but for some people it provides meaningful day‑to‑day relief.
I have this device and it works great for me it calms my body, stops the internal tremor and helps clear my mind allowing me to focus and connect.
I slept straight through the night not waking till the alarm went off at 5am and I am feeling good this morning. I was having my wash when I heard the kettle going and wondered why Tim was up so early, he said he couldn’t sleep.
It is 16c or 61f this morning, it is going to be a warm day with a top of 28c or 82.4f.
I had a good 7&half hours of sleep
I managed to vacuum, sweep and do a load of washing as well as hang it on the clothes hoist to dry and take the hoists outside. I also went for my walk the normal walk I do, this morning without fear of falling.
Had another good night slept getting 9hrs of sleep before waking up 10 minutes before the alarm. It is 5.30am and 16c or 61f we are heading for a top of 28 again. I have woken with lower back pain again. I applied Deep Heat and it helped also applied a heat patch
I went for my morning walk.
I asked Sandy if she was in the area could she come and take my shower curtain down so I can wash it, she did. It is now soaking in wash booster.
I was up at 4am but I was in bed by 7pm last night and had a good 9hrs of sleep, at 4.30am it was 15c or 59f only supposed to reach 21c today.
I noticed it had been raining during the night and when it became near the time I like to go for a walk it was still wet, so I decided to wait. When I did go, I walked down and posted letters I had written.
The air fryer/oven I bought Jess as a housewarming gift arrived today.
What a pissy night, from 1am I was up and down to the loo like a damn yo yo, at 3am I got up for half an hour as I felt restless, when I went back to bed I slept for an hour before getting up to start my day.
Had the doc appointment, got referral for MRI emailed it to Hunter Imagine and they will contact me.
I had to have a nap at 11.15am I slept till 11.50am. I woke up to a messy kitchen. Tim said he would clean it up, but I did it.

It feels crisp outside; I’m waiting for my body to settle enough to go for a walk.
Tim and I went to Medowie to check out a camper van. I couldn’t get into it as it was too high.
This afternoon Tim is attempting to put the table Jessica bought together, he said it is going to take hours.
He is also in a damn awful mood going on about no one helps him, although when he said something about needing help with the table, she said she would come down tomorrow and help, this went over his head because being in a mood feels better, I guess. I am so over his damn mood.
I had an early start woke at 3.45am to pee couldn’t settle again so got up at 4am, the first thing I did was have a shower. I had a good 9hrs of sleep.

This afternoon I was folding the clothes up and felt extremely exhausted and Tim asked me what was wrong I told him I was exhausted and he said how about I do the yard work, and he does the housework, I replied how about you have Parkinson’s and I don’t. He said what’s that got to do with it, every bloody thing that’s what.

Yes, I am worried about falling over again. I cannot let my fear of falling over again to stop me walking each day.
Today I am writing about glaucoma, I always thought it to be a single disease concerning the eye; however, my research says it is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, usually because of increased pressure inside the eye.
It’s one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide but with early detection and treatment, most people keep their vision.
The optic nerve is like a high‑speed cable carrying visual information from your eye to your brain. When pressure inside the eye rises (or when the nerve is unusually fragile), those nerve fibres slowly die. Once they’re gone, they cannot be repaired.
Your eyes are filled with fluid that constantly flows in and out of your eyes, bringing nutrients to your eyes.
If the fluid doesn’t leave your eye as easily as it enters, pressure can build up inside the eye.
The increase in eye pressure can damage your optic nerve. Your optic nerve links the back of your eye to your brain and allows you to see. Damage to your optic nerve results in damage to your vision.
Glaucoma can sometimes occur even when the fluid pressure in your eye is normal.
Most glaucoma develops silently over years, which is why it’s often called the “silent thief of sight.”
There are 2 main types of glaucoma.
Open-angle — where fluid pressure builds up in the front part of your eye, even when the fluid drainage pathways are open.
Closed-angle (or angle-closure) — where the eye’s fluid drainage pathways are narrowed or closed, so fluid pressure builds up quickly. This may cause pain in the eye and sudden loss of vision.
It can also be categorised as either, primary glaucoma, with an unknown cause or secondary glaucoma, caused by an eye condition, such as surgery, trauma, drugs or eye disease
Primary open-angle glaucoma is the most common form of glaucoma in Australia.
Usually, the deterioration in vision is very gradual and not noticeable. From the age of 40 regular eye examinations.
Once found, glaucoma can be treated to prevent or delay further vision loss.
You are at higher risk of developing glaucoma if you:
have a close relative with glaucoma
have high eye pressure
are aged over 50 years
are either short or long sighted
use (or have used) cortisone (steroid) medicines for long periods
have diabetes or either high or low blood pressure
get migraine headaches
have had an eye operation or eye injury
If you have chronic angle-closure glaucoma you sometimes get vision problems. This may be halo-like images around lights or you may have no symptoms.
If you have acute angle-closure glaucoma you may get:
sudden, severe eye pain
nausea and vomiting
headache
watery eyes
blurred vision
halos around bright lights
Since acute angle-closure glaucoma is an emergency, you should seek treatment straight away so you don’t lose vision. You need urgent treatment if:
one or both of your eyes quickly becomes painful and red
your vision gets blurred
you notice halos (rings) around lights
Treatment for chronic angle-closure glaucoma is designed to prevent or slow further damage, mainly by reducing the pressure in the eye. This may involve, eye drops, oral medicine or laser surgery or other surgery to open or create a new drainage channel. The surgery is usually an outpatient or day-surgery procedure.
Nerve cells damaged by glaucoma can’t be repaired.

Good morning anyone reading this, I have been up since 4am but I was in bed early last night and had a good 9hrs &30minutes of sleep.
My BGL was 5.5 and it was 21c or 69f, by 6am it started raining, also had T (Blain’s gf) come down looking for milk which I gave her.
What a morning Tasha had a skip bin delivered this morning and when he got home from work Tim started taking stuff up and tossing it into the bin, in helped by placing items on the walker and taking them to the bin. I decided to remove items allowing me to get out an old cupboard I then opened the front wooden door.
The mess behind the cupboard and door was awful so I cleaned that up it all took over an hour to do it. I cleaned the front of the wooden door but as I am short, I couldn’t reach the top of the door, I will see if Sam will come and finish it for me.
It is 5pm and I am feeling really unwell, I am very tired and really just not with it.
No steps as my watch died, it will not charge.
Been up since 4.10am, I am feeling much better this morning, I had a around 7.5hrs of sleep. My BGL was 5.8 and it is currently 22c or 70f.
Jess came over when she got home and asked if I could wash her work shirts as she has OT for the next two nights.
At midday I had to turn the air con as it was 30c or 86f.
By 4pm I was ratshit and felt like crap due to tiredness I am now going to bed and it is only 6.30pm
Another early start and damn my body is moving a lot this morning and my let knee is crackling.
Tim has called in sick for work he hopes he will be ok by lunch time to do his arvo shift.
I went shopping with Sue and in was ratshit all morning, I left the house wearing a long skirt and shoes and I had to remove the skirt yes, I had shorts on under it and also took my shoes off.
I had an hour-long nap between 12 & 1pm, also Dawson came over for a visit he was here are 45 minutes.
Tim isn’t working at all today even though he started feeling ok by 10am.

Up far to early for my liking 4.10am as I wasn’t able to get comfortable in bed with my left arm hurting and my right hip hurting.
It is 21c or 70f, but we are looking at a top temp of 30c. I got around 6hrs of sleep and my BGL was 6.6.
Went shopping with Sue after her doctor’s appointment, I was not the best, I think it was due to the heat and my swollen feet.
I had a one-hour nap and have been great for the rest of the day.
I emptied the money boxes I have been putting money in since 2021 which I will use as spending money on our cruise next month. Total amount $300.
