Multitasking or death?

What is suddenly wrong with wanting to take Big Life Decisions one at a time (assuming you have the option)? If Everyone Else is taking on all these hats and you don't want to pile on all the responsibility at once, that means you're selling yourself short - at least, that's the message I've been getting lately.

Earth logic, anyone? Bueller? Discuss.

(P.S.: I voted. Hope you did too.)
