@ Travis: Thanks for the comment! I knew somebody was going to roll up in here and say they ate one of those combos (or close enough, in your case) … hence the disclaimer. Should have known it would have been you! Haha.

True story: 3 days ago I ate pancakes and applesauce for breakfast ( along with some bananas.)

BUT… in my defense… I didn’t “combine” the two… but they make a pretty good breakfast!!!

@ Mac: Well I do agree that people can’t multitask, that is do more than one thing at a given time, effectively. Good point making something more repetitive before doing something else.

@ JD: Yep, you never know what you’ll get until you try it. The problem is people often get comfortable with one flavor and don’t want to try anything else. I’m guilty of that.

Great point on wrong combos.

Testing can be surprising and sometimes the right fix, is exactly what you didn’t expect (so shuffle, test, rinse, and repeat.)

Very True.

What I noticed is you have so much time and energy, so you need to know what the maximum you can do is.

If you want to do more, either get more energy or more time.. (This is possible)

The problem with having a lot of things to do is that you don’t have your focus on one thing 100%.

Some of the greatest people, have probably accomplished one great thing at a time.

The more you do the less focus you have for individual new tasks.

If it is something repetitive, that you know how to do, it does not require much focus, just execution..
