18: Multitasking is a Myth
Manage episode 337131825 series 3319453
So what is multitasking? Let’s start there.
Indeed labels multitasking as the ability to manage multiple responsibilities at once by focusing on one task while keeping track of others. Multitasking creates a greater demand on your cognitive resources, like attention and working memory. Indeed also gives an example of responding to an email while listening to a podcast. That’s awesome. If you are listening to this podcast and sending an email, good job. I want to talk about why this increase in brain activity can be bad for you.
