Is Multi-Tasking Driving You Mad?
Sure, Most Of Us Keep Too Many Balls In the Air At Once, But What's The Price We Pay?
(CBS) All the latest studies say multi-tasking makes us less efficient and productive, not more. But as demands on our time increase, we go ahead and do it anyway.So if multi-taskers are really just dividing their time up into smaller slices than others, what about performance? Does multi-tasking help us get lots of things done well?
No. The real problem is, there is no focusing on one thing. Our attention is diverted. Research has shown that when there is too much multi-tasking in a business, revenues actually go down, because everyone is being interrupted so frequently. You pay less attention to minor details and may wind up having to do them over, or do them only superficially.
