Multitasking doesn’t work, recent brain research tells us.
“Recent findings from neuroscience prove that our consciousness cannot deal with more than one thing at a time. It may feel like you can multitask and think about two (or more) things at the same time, but in reality your mind is switching back and forth between the topics. This is a costly process neurologically. Switching from one task to another requires energy and a certain amount of time.”
