Overview
The Myth of Multitasking lets you in on the inner workings and dark sides of a practice often praised as optimal - but truly rather detrimental. In terms of productivity, concentration, and mental health, multitasking is rather negative and impairs our ability to work well. If you've been trying to improve your productivity, know that there's power in focusing on one task at a time and sticking with it.
