Who is uber multi-tasking today or even just regular multi-tasking?

I've been listening to Royal Scandal (Royal Blood, #2) by Aimee Carter & Why We Die The New Science of Aging and the Quest for Immortality by Venki Ramakrishnan while doing crafts and laundry and organizing my stickers!

What have you been doing besides reading & posting RAT stuff today?

I have been working at the food pantry all morning, and will be doing some housework during audiobooks this afternoon and evening. I may also finish some crocheting later tonight.

Dee (austhokie) | 127 comments i've been doing audiobook while removing old linolium tile in my basement - I have new floors going in next week - the tile was a surprise discovery when i removed the carpet...

Jelena | 23 comments Surprisingly no multitasking for me this time - a lot of reading, just audio during a walk and lunch! I'm really satisfied (for now) because I wished I've read more and listened less the last Readathon in October.

Kate | 643 comments I tried to get all my jobs done pre-readathon so I could spend all my time reading. I don't really listen to audiobooks very often so I don't tend to multitask when reading paperbacks.

Eris Nycum (erisascending) | 3 comments I do papercrafts and plan on doing some of that in the middle of the night while listening to an audiobook. Trying to make it through all 24 hours. 4-8pm is always the hardest for me. Hopefully the multi-tasking will help!

Vicki Willis | 510 comments I am doing laundry and a little housework on audio when I start to feel drowsy.
Otherwise I am trying to read my kindle. I read faster than I am able to listen.

That's always a great thing to do with a Saturday, helping out at a food pantry!

I'm the opposite since I'm dyslexic, I listen faster than I read!

Same here! It is good to have little on no distractions during the readathon time

I can read better than I can listen to an audio book .
