Multitasking is not what many of us think it is...It is when a person attempts to handle more than one task at a time. Many people believe that multitasking can cause one to waste time and also numerous errors will be caused due to lack of sufficient attention. The brain cannot truly focus on several tasks at once so the individual who is multitasking will make errors and also take more time while in this process. The brain is forced to pause and refocus continually when confronted with a quantity of information. Though our brain is very complex it cannot multitask very well. The brain has a limited amount of space for retainment of information so when too much information at one time is accepted the brain does not handle it efficiently.
Unfortunately society supports constant multitasking ,such as listening to music while having a conversation or listening to music while exercising. It really can't be done because the brain is incapable of focusing on two things at the same moment so thus something or someone gets neglected. So perhaps focus on each task one at a time and chances are that you will finish all tasks in quicker and more thorough fashion than a person who is multitasking.
