*Modisaotsile is a 27-year-old young businessman managing three of his own. He is also a newly-wed husband to Bontle* and a father to their two-year-old daughter Maru*. Modisaotsile* was brought up by some traditional Setswana parents in his home village, together with his older sister Osadi*. While Osadi* was groomed to manage her time to accommodate the demands of her school work, as well as her daily kitchen house chores, Modisaotsile* was groomed to multi-task in a different way. He would come home after school and briefly cut firewood for Osadi* and their mother for supper, milk the cattle and herd them back into the kraal in the evening. He would then check stock of his herds before doing homework and finally retiring to bed. Early in the morning, Modisaotsile* would prepare fire for his mother to prepare breakfast for him and his sister before they left for school.
From his upbringing, Modisaotsile* learned to multi-task sequentially, whereby he would complete one task first before moving to the next one. Osadi* on the other hand, would be cooking and tidying up the kitchen at the same time. From that, she learned concurrent multi-tasking.
