“Men are from Mars, and Women are from Venus”
A quick disclaimer at the beginning, though this content piece is being written by a woman, the opinion and the inclusivity of aspects is totally unbiased and accommodating. So, either of the genders out there do not feel violated or not sided with. We are very open to your side of the stories and viewpoints and encourage you to share the same in the ‘Comments’ section below. So well, let’s dive straight into the point of introspection then. Are women better at multitasking than men?
Women and men are drastically different from each other. Though no comparisons, as each gender has its own positive attributes, and may fare better than the other in a few of the aspects, but in aggregate or sum total, they are at par with each other. Rest is also subjective from individual to individual, irrespective of gender.
When it comes to their approach to addressing a task at hand, women and women have slightly different attitudes. While women, basis their strong emotional quotient, add empathy to any task at hand, men are more practical and quick in their approach. Women are wired to be over-analytical, and over-thinkers, and hence, they mostly tend to delve deep into any task at hand and get into its technicalities in depth.
Men, on the other hand objectively analyze everything and then adopt an informed, calculated approach or decision. Most often, a male might not take the emotional, behavioral, or psychological aspect of the task or situation into consideration, but the female won’t miss that. She might, however, miss out on a practical side of the topic.
Are Women Good at Multitasking?
By nature, women have been levied with a lot of responsibilities and roles to play. She is a daughter, a sister, a mother, a boss, a daughter-in-law, and lots more. Even men are the male counterparts of all of these roles, yet a woman is always expected to be a giver. We would not adhere to the term ‘giver’ here because of the obvious connotations, but yes, women, are ‘nurturers’, and ‘nourishers’ by nature. Being bestowed upon with the power to birth, she is also the ‘rearer’ as she is capable of carrying and bringing a new life into this world. It is a nature’s miracle and women would always have a lead over men because only they possess this SUPERPOWER!
Hence, the way a woman would take care, and empathetically carry forward a task or a role to its successful culmination is quite more remarkable than how a man would do it. For all the above-stated responsibilities that solely fall on the shoulders of a woman, they are also intrinsically ingrained with certain attributes. Only a woman can manage the home chores, the family, as well as the work, demands as successfully as they do.
Arguably, if a man is weighed with so much to do in a day as much a woman accomplishes, he would not be able to sustain successfully even for a week. In all honesty, it does take a toll on the individual on a lot of levels.
“I am not the first woman to multitask. I am not the first women to work and have a baby – there are many women who have done this before.” – Jacinda Ardern
A lot of urban, working women these days are managing their corporate roles with just as much finesse, as they are setting up their homes or cooking a wholesome nutritional meal for their family. They drive, they make presentations, they feed, the gym, all of this while looking good, prim and proper, all at once. If this isn’t multitasking then what is.
It is inspiring and heart-warming to see a lot of young girls, aged between 25-35 years, setting up entire business empires of their own. They are the most inspiring ‘Boss Ladies’ at what they do. Be it brand owners, fashion designers, bloggers, and influencers, or management graduates, womenpreuners, or company CEO’S. They all know what they want and would not leave a stone unturned to accomplish that sooner or later.
The same women, start their days early, meditate, send out their children to school, reach for their early morning presentation in time, meet the client at brunch, work on their bodies in the gym and again at night, take some time out to spend quality moments with their spouse – all this while, keeping a sharp focus on their individual goals as well as the betterment and progress of their family life. If this is not multitasking, then what else is?
“IT’S HARD TO BE A WOMAN
You must think like a man,
Act like a lady,
Look like a young girl,
And work like a horse.”
(If this is not multitasking, then what else is?)
