This is an ABC podcast.

If you think about the quintessential stereotype of a multitasker, it's a mother, right?

I'm in my car in the car park at the gym and my kids are in the crash at the gym.

That's great. Good on you.

Okay, I'm just going to check my recording equipment.

I'm talking to Ramey.

She's a mum of three kids and things are about to get very meta in our chat about multitasking.

I historically have actually never been good at multitasking and I've known that about myself

since I was like a little kid. Like I can't study and listen to music at the same time.

I rarely even drive and listen to music at the same time. So are you not the kind of person

who is on your phone while doing other things while chatting to your kids, that kind of thing?

I do sometimes, but that's me being a bad mom. And actually, my son said to me the other, he said he's five, and kind of thing. I do sometimes. That's me being a bad mom. And actually my son said to me

he said he's five and he said something to me and I must have said, mm-hmm, and he said, no, don't say

mm-hmm, say yes, Eden. Oh my goodness. My baby just woke up. Ah, I had time this perfectly too,

but he's just woken up. I need to. That's okay. Do what you need to? I need to go pat, pat, pat, and hopefully he'll be...

Can you hang on the line for a minute? And if it doesn't work, then I'll just reschedule with you.

No, that's fine. Okay, hang on. One second.

This has never happened before, where I have to interrupt an interview and go deal with my baby. Oh my gosh, the joy is not of working from home.

Okay, I'm back.

Can you believe we're doing a chat about multitasking?

And here I am failing at multitasking.

Oh, my goodness.
