Never happier than when im busy. Im a passionate person and i love to be active and out and about. Currently im a bit stuck in life due to lots of different things but i think its the fact that they've left me inactive thats really getting to me. I hate just being stuck on my ass only able to work at one thing at a time.
As to how it affects D/s etc... i honestly dont think it does that much except in relation to the fact that i like to be busy because im passionate about life. Im equally passionate about anyone im with.

So, are you a multi tasker or do you like to attack each task individually....and if so what kind of positive or negative impact do you think it has on your D/s or M/s relationship?

Overall I'd say I'm a multi-tasker... though I can be very methodical when I need to be. I enjoy having several things going at once and I particularly find I work well when I am doing something physical and something else mental at the same time. Although admittedly that has occasionally led to me smacking my thumb with a hammer.

Never really thought about what impact its had on my relationships. But overall I would say its been positive. I remember something a submissive wrote in her journal about me that maybe sums it up best.

Sir always has a lot on His plate. He mentors a lot of people and sometimes i think im just too much to add to that list. But Miss trusts Him and no matter how many times ive seen Him helping someone else everytime ive ever needed Him He is there. Always in that clearing always watching. He is a fine friend.

I couldn't have done that if I couldn't multitask, I wouldn't have been able to be there as much.

I tend to address each issue individually, and methodically. I keep my life organized and my home quite neat. I'm often a perfectionist, bordering on obsessive compulsive (though not as bad as sleeping with the enemy). But in short, I believe in taking one's time to slow down and contemplate the best chess moves of your day rather than a handful of knee-jerk reactions that wear one out. This trait always benefits my relationships.

Your post addresses the nature of Type A vs. Type B personalities, but also touches upon how nearly all members of modern society are feeling a bit more more rushed—particularly women—who are expected not only to support a career, but be homemakers and produce/nurture quality children as well, all at the behest of traditional roles.

I am a multi-tasker out of necessity...I am a single Mom with very active unmentionables, and I work full time on one of those jobs where the work follows you home! Where the D/s comes in, is that I find everything easier to manage when I have Master's presence and guidance. On my own, I tend to get flustered and stressed. Master creates a calmness in me that lets me handle so much with a postive demeanor. He gives me the structure that I need to be successful in so many different venues. My friends at work often comment on how I can handle things with a smile on my face...if they only knew! HA!

If i am to be honest, i am suited for the methodical method, however I don't have the patience, so I end up multi-tasking...and as a result have many, many, many unfinished, half finished and barely begun projects littering my past.

I am a DOS Dom in a Windows world. I have AADD along with a touch of OCD... I need to focus and concentrate on the task at hand. If I don't my head space goes off into a bazillion directions at once and I get nothing done. The OCD kicks in and I start trying to organize, prioritize, pasturize, homogenize, supersize... Sorry, started rhyming and couldn't stop...

Back to the task at hand...

I can multitask to accomplish what I need to, but I tend to become mesmerized by some things and will concentrate on a particular interest a great deal. For instance, writing can be a pursuit that I center my life around when I'm working on a project. I had a text book published several years ago and for two years it took my total energy. I would write and edit on Friday nights, early mornings, holidays or whenever. I was obsessive and it became my life.

Currently, I'm into weight lifting, bodybuilding and fitness. It is much the same thing with my constant reading articles and doing various workouts. My job is performed in a perfunctory manner, but my daydreams concern weight lifting.

Interesting. After I read this I searched my memory back to my pre-mommy days. I have to say that I believe you are right, somewhere along the line I got so caught up in transforming myself into a "superwoman" that I lost some of my spontaneity and care-free spirit. I learned to do the juggling act well and at times ran myself into the ground trying to accomplish all that needed to be done. Heck, I still do.

There is more and more pressure today to be able to juggle it all....and do it right. Not only do it right, but do it even better than it's ever been done before. But sometimes I think we lose some very valuable things in the process. Like sanity....lol.

It used to be that you stayed home and raised your kids. Then when women started to work...the goal was to find a daycare provider that would keep your children safe and well fed...and would give them hugs and affection enough to carry them through the day until you could take back over. Now we look for daycare providers with college degrees who will provide an intensive learning environment that is structured. Some stay at home moms do the same thing today.

I have a girlfriend who is a stay at home mom who runs her child all day long to different "classes" and even her home time is broken down into strictly regimented "learning hours". There is puzzle hour to help her child become a good problem solver in life...physical activity hour where there are planned exercises to impress the need for keeping the body in shape. There is foreign language hour. Even dinner has become "nutrition hour" where cooking the meal is a learning exercise. Her child is 3. He is very bright indeed and I am sure will be a success in his chosen field as an adult....I have to wonder though if he will ever know the joy of just being able to be spontaneous. What kind of adult will he make if he is never allowed to be a child first?
