Is multitasking a female thing?

If you want something done give it to a busy person. My husband has a hard time focusing his attention on more than one thing at a time. This has never been more apparent to me than since he started living his dream by shooting a film he wrote and independently produced. In fact, not only can he not focus on anything else, but if I try to get him to he now gets overwhelmed and sometimes upset.

I just have to chuckle at all of this because I would not have a career in events if this was my personality. Is this a Gemini thing? Let me look this up, hang on (not that I am a big believer in astrology but I can't resist). Let's see..astrology.com says, 'often restless, easily bored and can become frustrated by things moving too slowly,' yeah, that's him...there have been periods where I have come home stressed and he has said, please I can do you job... and I laugh thinking, no way could he do my job.

Multitasking=Event Planning. And not only must you be able to keep many balls in the air at the same time...you have make sure everything is precise. Done well, not just done.. Kapish? If you want many things done, give them to an event planner...not their husbands. :)
