Forget multitasking. Go for single-tasking.
National Single-tasking Day will be much easier for right-handed men. Why? Women and left-handed men have larger corpus callosum than right-handed men. It means women and left-handed men can both think and feel simultaneously, something essential for multitasking and analyzing multiple sources of information, including emotional IQ. It's also evolutionary. Women multitask because if the children were to survive in caveman days up to the present, they needed to be able to watch them and do other things. Got a problem that needs someone to juggle a bunch of different things? Put a woman or a left-handed man on it. They can watch tv, read a book, watch the children, and cook simultaneously.
However, a right-handed man is your best choice if you need absolute focus, no deviations, and no distractions. He is purpose-driven and will only stop once he completes his work. He is a single-tasker. It is why many men can't deal with someone talking over the game on TV. They'll talk or watch the game, but don't make them do both. You'll drive them crazy.
Evolutionarily, this worked. He needed to protect and bring home food. It is also why men can go for 30-45 days after a break-up and not appear phased. They usually get thumped by emotions in weeks six and eight. Until then, they can think it away by focusing on something else. If you've broken up with a right-handed man, give him 60 days to reconnect. If he loves you, he will reconnect by then. If he doesn't, he'll move on to another task.
