    Does Multitasking Kill Productivity | Why Multitasking Fails and How to Stop Doing It
    Lots of questions are asked about multitasking. Does Multitasking kill productivity? Is multitasking good for me? Does multitasking work? Are you a good multitasker or should I quit multitasking?
    I see multitasking articles posted everyday claiming to be able to teach you How to be a better multitasker. They talk about multitasking or task switching benefits that are supposed to increase productivity but they tend to ignore every multitasking study that shows exactly why multitasking fails to provide any tangible benefits to your productivity and how it could be hurting you in other ways.
    And while the task switching tests can be fun to try I think that it’s time I break this task switching myth. In this video I am going to put on my mythbuster hat and look at the multitasking effects on productivity and your overall health and explain why figuring out How to be the best multitasker you can be is just as much a waste of your time as watching paint dry. I will also be giving you a few ways to combat multitasking in your everyday life.

    "Must be a good multi tasker"
    That's just another way of saying "We're short staffed and want someone who can do the work of three people"

    Yes, I agree; I found that meditation helps me in both my personal AND professional side. I even got an app for it. Great video!

      That's awesome Jilly! If I may ask, which app are you using? I've been debating whether or not to try one for myself.

    Wait a minute!! I have a question for you. Don't you think you killed our eyes with drawing, writing and listening already? isn't that multi-tasking in itself?? Well, at least if you drew/wrote separately and recorded over it later - FINE-- you made us go crazy (forced our brain to watch, listen and follow your hands).... brain was busy :)

    Awesome video. This is something I learned as an athlete in college. Also, last week my barber and I were talking about how “multi tasking” effects us.

      Same here! It's amazing how much it can have an effect without us consciously noticing it.

      Niket Amin true but when conducting tasks that require focus this would be difficult.

    I don't get it where people have such a negative view of multitasking when it's actually one of the prerequisites for most jobs, and some going as far to say, "if you can't multitask, then this job is not for you." The people who struggle most with multitasking are people are those who are very task oriented, but refuse to switch to a different or new task until their original task is completed. They say that being interrupted from an incompleted task to work on another task is all part of the job. I wish people could get on the same page so as to whether or not multitasking is beneficial and necessary. Just my opinion.
