I know everyone's different but I still side with the fact that multi-tasking is vastly overrated. Thanks for the comment!

But most of the time, I have 50 million windows open, music blasting, watching TV, all while doing a million things at once. Some habits will never change...

To the point, it really is amazing what you can accomplish once you focus on one thing at a time. Multi-tasking is important, but focus should never be overlooked. Thanks again for having me buddy - heck of a trip down memory lane.
