The human brain's ability to have multiple goals (e.g., fitness, relationships, scholastic, business) interacting at once is unique, though other animals also engage in this to some extent.

“Another thing that's really unique about the human brain, is that we are able to have multiple goals interacting at once. So, for instance, we probably all have fitness goals, goals in relationships of different kinds, friendships, and romantic partnerships as well as maybe scholastic goals. Maybe you're in school or you're pursuing some kind of learning outside of the school environment or indoor, you have business goals or financial goals, we are able to have multiple goals at once. And other animals do this, but humans are unique in the ability to juggle a lot of goals.”
