Don’t try this while driving. • Spend some quality time in the bathtub, and if you have company, so much the better. • Write down these words and place them where you can see them: Multitasking is doing any of them properly. • Do not be pushed into answering a question right away. Take your time. • Don’t wear a watch, don’t worry, you’ll know the time when you need to. • Yawn often. Yawning is good for your health. • Listen to a Mozart composition in its original tempo.
