How far do you take multitasking during those totally pointless meetings at home? 🙃 I’ve scrolled Zillow for dream houses, alphabetized my spice rack, and once even wrapped Christmas gifts. Curious what’s the wildest thing you’ve pulled off?

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve crocheted during meetings

Same here. Crocheting is my original fidget toy.

Rocking my sick toddler to sleep. I was so impressed with myself. Didn't move from the couch for an hour after the call ended just to keep from waking her up 😂

Wow, that’s next-level multitasking - impressive and so sweet at the same time!

Baked a cake :D

That’s awesome 😂 multitasking at its sweetest! Did you manage to get it frosted before the meeting wrapped up?

I remember once having a spreadsheet open and figuring out monthly expenses. The meeting was so boring that it made putting things into the spreadsheet interesting and more bearable. It's funny how everything is relative.

Haha, I love that. When a meeting is so dull it actually makes budgeting feel exciting!

I knitted a sweater, once, lol, but it's hard to choose my favorite thing I've done. I think now the wildest thing I can do is eat, watch TV, and breastfeed my newborn at the same time, hehe. That's crazy wild for me, now!

That’s multitasking on expert mode right there 😂 knitting a sweater is impressive, but juggling TV, food, and a newborn at once definitely takes the crown!

I can multitask with mundane (non-thinking) things like sorting laundry, vacuuming, crocheting, drawing, or something but for the life of me can’t do emails/teams chats/ normal work while listening to meetings. It puts me so behind sometimes.
