Thief of time

I was just reading about multitasking. Apparently, pilots need to excel at this. Our Welcome to Primary Day 1 speeches scared me a bit. I....AM......TERRIBLE.......AT........MULTITASKING. I read how to improve this. I already listen to tons of music...check! Another suggestion was to practice individual tasks until mastery. This is very similar to Les Claypool's answer when asked, 'Is it difficult to play and sing Tommy The Cat?' The layperson would answer 'yes.' Les, however, responded by claiming to practice the bass parts until the point where he could play and converse simultaneously. The playing part is then brainless. Then, sing. So hot damn! Les Claypool is helping me become a better pilot!
Also, it is suggested that I don't multitask. Don't juggle, bowl, but bowl faster. I could conceivably fool my flight instructor by single-tasking fast!
