One Thing At A Time

Science Daily: Movie research results: Multitasking overloads the brain - The brain works most efficiently when it can focus on a single task for a longer period of time

Summary - Previous research shows that multitasking, which means performing several tasks at the same time, reduces productivity by as much as 40%. Now a group of researchers specializing in brain imaging has found that changing tasks too frequently interferes with brain activity. This may explain why the end result is worse than when a person focuses on one task at a time.
