How can you become an effective multi-tasker?

Antano was standing next to John Grinder in Brighton. A woman came and asked a question. John answered briefly and asked her to stay around. He started talking to someone else. As he talked, the woman began crying and laughing and crying and laughing. After five minutes she said: thank you John, you've changed my life. Antano asked: did you do that consciously? John said: systematically yes. Consciously, no.

Effective multi-tasking at the level masters operate is not about attention management. It is about developing the capability to run precision interventions through a different part of the system while the conscious mind is engaged elsewhere. When this is installed, your interactions change lives while you are doing something else.
