In computing, a context switch has to be performed to switch between two different processes. In a single core, single threaded CPU, only one process can be run at a time, but context switches happen so frequently and quickly that it gives of the illusion of multitasking. Context switches come with a cost of having to allocate your resources elsewhere, just as a person would have to potentially pick up their things and prepare some items for the next task. The overhead of reallocating resources can make your overall productivity inefficient. So with your example with writing down numbers and a sentence at the same time, instead of context switching, you could hire someone to write down the second line, while you write down the first. This is similar to how a multi-core processor would work! Thought it was interesting to see that what you said draws many parallels to computer science and multithreading more specifically.
Hey Austin! Thanks for sharing this video, I loved the tips and hope to use them to better myself as I am studying for the MCAT and finishing undergrad. Good luck with rotations!
Study for 55 minutes then have 5 minutes microbrews beer will definitely boost you brain cell much higher. You’re looking great kid. Study hard for I am counting on you for my old age advise. Probably another 30 years 😂

Thanks for the kind words Alexis! Best of luck on the MCAT - you got this!! 🙏🔥
Great quality content man, this is underrated
Thanks a lot man!! Just trying my best - thanks for watching! 🙏
This was such a cool video!
Thank you Austin!
Super glad you enjoyed it! It’s a little bit different than the usual content, so happy it could be useful! Have a great weekend 💪💯👌
Great video i been following it 👍 it has increased my productivity time
It was hard at the starting 5-7 days, had to stay motivated.
Thank you😊😊
Super happy to hear that! Keep up the strong work and power through it man! Best of luck to you 💯👌
@@AustinNguyenMD thank you
one day i wish to become a doc like you😊😊
Hey Austin do you workout everyday?
Usually 5 days only! Take two days off 💪💪
Awesome video
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 💯💪

Sounds like the perfect schedule! That will be 10 microbrews after 10 hours of work 🤣 Hope you can still count on me uncle 👍
👍💕
