Thank you for your considered response Judy.

Many would say that we do not actually do anything simultaneously and our minds just skirt around everything very quickly one after the other…

I am all for multitasking when possible and giving good and enjoyable results.
A small comment:
You cannot watch a youtube clip (usually there is also audio) and listen to music. This will get you cacaphonic results, not multitasking.

I think that multitaksing is possible when you do several activities-each involving another modality (listening/doing/moving/seeing)
but not listening to 2 audios, seeing 2 movies/clips etc

And, in fact, surgeons do multi-task too. Last year, I had an exploratory op throughout which I used self-hypnosis as anaesthesia and, from far off, I could hear my surgeon (who was used to people being out for the count and not able to hear him) talking about what he was having for lunch and whether he could get tickets to the next match of the season. My op was obviously auto-pilot for him. Ha. 🙂
