Listen/Read

June 3, 2010

Can anyone explain why I feel completely compelled to turn off the radio before I open my phone to read a text message? Even if I am a passenger? Even if I am parked in my driveway? Do I think my eyes won't work, if my ears are already engaged? Is this related to the pat your head/rub your stomach thing (which I have never had a problem with)?

  2. When I am driving to a new location or looking for a parking spot I tunr off the radio AND lean forward in my seat as if that would somehow help. I don't know what it is but it is impossible to stop yourself from doing this as if it there is some biological imperative at work.

  4. Maybe it is a form of multitasking. I do the same thing and I do NOT mulitask well.
