Sometimes I’ve gotten the impression that people think being a Technical Writer is something anyone can do. Some days are easy, but most aren’t. It’s a lot of work, and Technical Writers wear a lot of hats. When my team is in the trenches, so am I - not always because I have to be, but because we’re a team and I want to be available to help. This is one of those late nights. Multiple laptops. Multiple monitors. Multiple priorities. Plus one cat that makes sure I haven’t forgotten priority #1 😂

Sorry not sorry, but anytime someone tells me that multitasking isn’t possible (at least not successfully), my immediate thought is “for you maybe.” 🤷‍♀️ Is it a skill? A gift? Can it be taught? I don’t presume to know. I will say that my first memorable encounter with high-level multitasking was during a day I spent shadowing a FDO (flight dynamics officer) at NASA’s Johnson Space Center while I was still in high school. We went to Mission Control where he picked up an earpiece and let me listen in. There must have been at least 5 different conversations going on at the same time on the same channel. He explained that you have to be able to listen to all of them all and pick out the information you need. I was amazed. Just because someone or some study says something is not possible, I want you to think, “but they haven’t met me.” 🫶.

The photo is me about a year ago attempting to be in 2 meetings at once.
Results inconclusive 😂.
