Are You a Multi-Tasker? (I AM!!!) ;-)

By Geraldine on March 23, 2015 | 6 Comments

No, I can’t juggle (but Joe can) 🙂 but I DO ♥ to multi-task!

I’m happiest when I’ve got at least two (sometimes more) tasks on the go, at the same time.

As an example: I often find myself : on the phone, writing a report/list/letter… and eating, all at once. I seem to manage just fine, when it comes to multi-tasking.

Doing one thing at a time always seems so SLOW to me! 😉

I’m usually trying to cram as much into each day as I can; especially when I’m feeling really energetic. And multi-tasking also makes me feel more energetic!

But, it seems that multi-tasking is not the best idea/strategy; at least according to a number of articles and posts I’ve been reading recently.

***

These is just a sample of dozens I noted online:

-An article at the UK Daily Mail about the physical effects of multi-tasking.

-Another article from About.com about multi-tasking vs “chunking”

Chunking sounds like it might be a good idea, at least at times.

What do you think about multi-tasking? Do you multi-task on a regular basis?

New Cookbook Progress and Reviewers Needed

By Geraldine on May 14, 2014 | 8 Comments

I’ve been working on my third cookbook for several months now and have been making slow but steady progress on this project.

This will be the second book/Ebook in the Groovy Green Kitchen series.

This one is all about yummy soups along with a selection of easy, interchangeable side dishes to go with them.

I ♥ soups so much and all year long, so this is definitely an easy topic/book project for me to take on with a lot of interest and enthusiasm!

I have had some unforeseen delays in getting this book completed (most beyond my control) but now I’m thinking that wasn’t such a bad thing after all. 😉 Summer is NOT the time to release a new soup cookbook, the fall is definitely better.

And by autumn: The Groovy Green Kitchen (Volume 2): Simply, Super, Supper Soups will definitely be a “done deal” 😉

In the meantime, I am also still promoting all my other books, including my newest one:

Laughing AT the Grim Reaper! Gems of Wisdom for Aging Well

that I just published in April.

I need more Amazon reviews for all my books and here’s where you come in. 😉

If any of you are interested in reading/reviewing one of my books:

Amazon Author’s Page for Geraldine Helen Hartman (click to see list)

send me an email (subject line: book reviewer) at:

veggiecook @ myway . com (spaces removed)

and I will be happy to send along a review/gift Kindle copy for this purpose.

I have 6 Ebooks now available so this is definitely not just for the cooks who are reading this! 😉

And thanks to everyone who has already written reviews for my books/Ebooks! Most appreciated.
