I've found it's very hard to process text information (i.e. reading email, IM'ing with my kids) while still paying attention to conference calls. I can do light web browsing if it's not a very stimulating call

I'm able to work from home and do find that I can wash dishes and do light yard work while teleconferencing (on mute of course).

My best practice is to try not to multi-task
