The trick is to promote that and allow it to be something like your main skill. Let it be whatever you are good at Science, Music, whatever. Really get good at it and learn more about it.

I am terrible at it hehehe, sometimes I will get caught up at work doing too many things at once and I simply forget about most of them. Colleagues are like - "have you don't that yet" and I'm like - "D'oh" thinking that I've done everything I needed to. lol It ultimately comes down to the individual, some are better tham others at multitasking.

The video is titled "Power Over People: Classical and Modern Political Theory". Anyone interested in political theory should get it. The series has an historical aspect and each lecture (16 in all) explores a different theorist. Plus Professor Dalton has such an engaging style that I can hardly believe anyone could multi task during one of his lectures.
