The Multitasking Myth | Why Multitasking is Bad for Your Productivity and Brain

Описание: There have been a lot of discussion about why multitasking is a myth and why multitasking is bad for you. There have been plenty of studies that have explored how multitasking destroys productivity and the brain. Even though, it may feel like one is actually getting more done, one actually isn’t because of how our brains are programmed

It also helps to view the brain’s focus as a zoom lens that cannot zoom in and out at the same time. That’s why multitasking doesn’t allow us to focus very well.
In this video I discuss effects such as attention residue and the cognitive switching penalty, as well as short-term working memory. I also use a discussion by author Nicholas Carr to illustrate the effects of multitasking on one’s brain.

I also discuss how to effectively multitask through efficient prioritization. I hope this video helps answer questions about it’s preferable not to multitask and why multitasking fails.
