Episode 6: How Multitasking Hurts Your Productivity
January 14, 2021
In the sixth episode, our science journalist Shoumika explains how multitasking causes the brain to inefficiently split time and attention between tasks. Studies have shown that the human brain is not designed to multitask efficiently, and that multitasking has been associated with low self-control and greater levels of inattention. Shoumika then explains the benefits of focusing our attention on one thing at a time, and ends the episode with advice on how to do so.
