ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Human multitasking

Human multitasking is when you do more than one thing at the same time. It can be as simple as walking and eating at the same time or as complicated as writing a report, talking on the phone and answering emails all at the same time. Some people can do this easily, but for most people it can be difficult to do more than one thing at the same time and still do them well.
