Can anyone do this?

I'm sure everyone can lol but just thought I'd ask because I didn't really realize how well I could do it until recently.

When I'm exercising and doing jumping jacks or some other exercises, I sometimes sing outloud. I belt out songs while I'm doing 100+ jumping jacks. Anyway, I'll make sure I do 100 jumping jacks and then I'll switch onto something else. To do that, I count each jump until I get to 100 while I'm singing.I can keep track while I'm singing.

Another thing is when I'm reading and my friend said they'd be over in 20 minutes, to keep track I counted while I was reading. So, 20 minutes is 1,200 seconds. I read normally either outloud or in my head but at the same time, my brain is counting to 1,200. Although I already knew I was doing it right, to prove it to myself, I timed myself and I for sure can keep track of seconds in my head while doing anything..

Not only can I do that but there's a bunch more I can do like with memorization but that'll be a different question.

Can anyone else do this?

    Not normal but interesting. Derren Brown, an illusionist and magician from the UK, does similar feats to the counting while reading thing. You must have an exceptional memory.

    I'm sure everyone can with a little practice. I just tried and it's like a switch is click-click-click-click-clicking in my head. Counting is a lame hobby for me though.

    Wow, that's awesome. I can't count and sing at the same time. Not a good multi-tasker lol
