Multitasking Behind the Wheel

I love a gadget that can multi-task. I own a microwave that's also a toaster oven which lets me nuke the frozen dinner and toast the garlic bread all for the same meal. I have a television that lets me watch great shows live and records them while I'm away. I spend more time than necessary with a phone that makes calls, checks email, and locates the closest Starbucks. I even have an oven that bakes the cupcakes and heats the house all at the same time (I need to make sure my carbon monoxide detector works...)

This is simply a reflection of my need to feel as productive as possible at any given moment. When I'm at work - I listen to Pandora so I can keep up with new music I might come to love. I eat lunch at my desk so I can catch up on headlines and twits and RSS feeds. But the worst? Driving. Umm...what am I supposed to do behind the wheel? Just drive? Ugh. 

I have been known to do the following while behind the wheel:
  • Putting on makeup.
  • Talking on the phone.
  • Texting on the phone.
  • Googling on the phone.
  • Reading a magazine
  • Watching a movie.
  • Changing clothes.
  • Collating folders for a presentation.
  • Straigtening my hair.

Probably not the best choices.  Are you a multitasker?
