Multitasking

Multitasking refers to the ability to perform multiple tasks or activities simultaneously or quickly switch between them. In everyday life, this can mean handling phone calls while typing an email or cooking dinner while watching a movie. While many people believe they can effectively multitask, research suggests that our brains are not designed for it; switching tasks can lead to decreased efficiency and errors. Effective multitasking often involves prioritizing tasks and managing time well, rather than genuinely performing multiple complex activities at once. It's about balancing attention to ensure productivity without compromising quality.
