Ladies, unfortunately we have to destroy the female self-image. We can’t do five things at the same time. Our author knows why our inability is actually really good news.

The end of an era, the death of a myth: women are not multitasking talents! We repeat: women and multitasking are just as incompatible as men and multitasking. Several studies from Norway and Germany agree: The myth of the woman doing everything at the same time is simply not true. In fact, we are neither better nor worse at doing several things at the same time than our godly spouses, brothers, and friends.
Then how do they all come up with it?
The whole truth is: The multitasking myth is a huge plot of the man’s world. At least as secret as the hiding place of the Holy Grail. They just made it all up so that we could do it one after the other in peace while we try to pack everything at the same time. Because we can. At least that’s what the men say. But sorry guys, it’s out now. We can do one shit. And that’s why we don’t want that anymore. The fact is: Hardly any group is as vulnerable to burnout as working mothers. We don’t really wonder anymore.
Why this is actually good news
Actually, it’s not so nice to say goodbye to your own abilities. Not even talked about. But in this case things are a little different. This time, our inability opens up completely different possibilities. Just like the men of this world, we simply cannot listen when we are doing something else. Oh, just the thought that no one in the world can do several things at the same time is so damn liberating. Although it can’t be quite right. For example, we can eat chips, make phone calls, netflix, and look incredibly good at the same time. We just didn’t say that in the studies. Is secret. At least as much as the Holy Grail. You know … a little plot that is only our business.
