MULTI- TASKING IS A LIE ???

The Myth of Multi-tasking : The ultimate guide to getting more done by doing less Take a second to look at everything in front of you right now . If you’re got at least a few browser windows open ( each one loaded with tabs you need) . Your email inbox is steadily filling up in the background . Slack keeps popping up messages from different teammates . And ofcourse , your phone … In other words , you’re multitasking The problem is , there’s no such thing as multitasking As multiple studies have confirmed , true multi-tasking doing more than one task at the same time is a myth . People who think they can split their attention between multiple tasks at once aren’t doing less , getting more stressed out , and performing worse than those who single-task . “As long as you’re performing complicated tasks that require the same parts of the brain , and you need to devote all that capacity for these tasks , there just aren’t going to be resources available to add anything more.” reforms of multitasking you need be aware of : multi-tasking ( attempting to do two or more tasks simultaneously ) “Once you start to make things more complicated , things get messier , and as a result , there’s going to be interference with one or more of the tasks. Either you’re going to have to slow down on one of the tasks , or you’re going to start marking mistakes” Finally , there’s a type of multi-tasking that few people really talk about : doing multiple different tasks in quick succession . Doing one thing at a time is infinitely is infinitely more productive than multi-tasking . “The ability to think about what is not happening is cognitive achievement that comes at an emotional cost.” MULTITASKING TURNS YOU INTO A SUPER WOMAN .
