If you want something done to you, ask a woman

Men and women are equal when tasks are done one by one. But when tasks are mixed, there is always a significant difference. For example, while doing housework, a wife is cooking a meal while she is taking care of her young children and suddenly the phone rings and she needs to answer the phone. She can pick up the phone while she is carrying her child and also see the progress of the food she cooks.

It is proven that women are better than men, especially in performing multiple tasks at the same time. Men are less organized compared to women. Most women know how to use a system to get things done right away. Before starting a task, a woman usually thinks about which of the tasks should be the first. Women find it easier to shift attention than men.

By nature, women are methodological. But this is not to generalize men are slower, of course, there are also men who are good at multitasking. However, the average woman is better able to organize her time and switch between tasks than the average man. Still, it’s possible that for certain tasks, men are better at multitasking depending on their nature. It can be sequential or simultaneous. It just so happened that men are slower when it comes to quickly switching between tasks.

Multitasking is more difficult for men because they need to use more energy than women shifting attention between tasks. With women, task switching appears to require less brainpower compared to men. In the past, women were able to balance numerous household chores with childcare, while men worked in the fields. The women did all the housework while the men did only one job to support the needs of their family.

If a woman is experienced in certain tasks, they seem to automatically leave because she thinks less while doing these tasks. This is why an experienced chef can prepare several dishes at the same time, while a beginner cook has to concentrate while she bakes an egg. However, the ability to multitask while she cooks depends on how often she cooks, not just because she’s male or female.

It has been confirmed that young women are able to switch their attention between tasks better than young men. In particular, although the reaction time is very different, in everyday life it is hardly noticeable, except in really stressful situations that require frequent changes of tasks.

So if you want something done, give it to a woman who is more adept at doing simultaneous tasks.
