The verdict is in and experts agree being a "master of multitasking" is a myth. Meaning it is near impossible to complete multiple tasks at the same time effectively and efficiently. Entrepreneur magazine states the only exception is when one or more of the tasks is second nature and doesn't require real thought or in the case that the the tasks being performed involve different brain processes. We fool ourselves into thinking we can effectively perform multiple tasks such as checking email while taking a phone call at the same time. The truth is your brain is switching the focus between tasks so rapidly that you believe you are completing tasks at the same time. Attempting to perform multiple tasks at the same time is taxing on the brain and may lead to anxiety and dissatisfaction. There are many strategies to support focusing on one task or "mono-tasking." Setting schedules and journaling are two strategies that help to improve focus on completing one task at a time. Thus leading to decreased stress and a more efficient use of your time.
