This comes as no surprise to me. I used to think I was good at multi-tasking, but the more I did, the more frustrated I became, and lost focus easily. Switching to basically single-tasking has been an improvement, especially in quality.
Guess it took a study to prove it. (Probably funded with tax money….)
Still, it’s an interesting read. What I found fascinating was it was done on college students. I had always thought my loss of ability to multi-task was age related, but this shows even younger folks face it. Doesn’t mean it doesn’t diminish with age also, I suppose.
I would think further on the subject, but that’s another task. I’ll do that after I post this.
