A few things I'd like to add. Firstly I was watching this while cooking and finally finishing the video while knitting. So you can multitask. I can literally knit without looking. Second: my mom once received a bottle of vodka from an ex coworker. Her daughter has a Ukrainian boyfriend/husband and bought the bottle in Ukraine but we saw it at our local Russian store in the city center. I don't drink but my mom's hard Ukrainian stomach can endure that. But the cool part is the bottle if I remember correctly is white but turns blue (or vice versa) when cold. It was super cool. Basically you take it out of the fridge and changes colour to the temperature. Third: I don't know if this counts as design p*rn but... I made some cool flat book covers for a university assignment. We were given 4 things: a turtle, 3 oranges, a kitchen and Ugo. We had to make 2 stories with the things given and create two hypothetical back and front book covers that didn't necessarily have to include all the things given for the art. With flat cover it's referred to 2D illustrations and not photos. I came up with two book covers that were part of the genres given and a classmate said they looked super pretty. He liked a lot the illustration I did on illustrator quite quickly. I'm proud of myself for being able to draw a fridge with three oranges inside in the dark for a cookbook cover. Or a plant in front of a window for a manual about caring for plants and houspets.

[@tale7955]

No, you can't "Multitask" You brain can perform more than one activity but not anything that requires direct input, like Knitting and cooking. You might think you're multitasking because you perceive to be doing more than one thing at once, but it's just your brain doing one thing, stopping and doing another in quick succession. In general, trying to perform more than one task at once yields poor results. Nobody's special, nor the exception to the rule.
