What Dr. Doll can say in an interview on Multitasking:
Can we Really multitask?
-
-
- The whole concept of multitasking is a fallacy.
Our brains are not like computer operating systems - We are human beings. The brain can’t perform multiple tasks that require high-level functioning or processing at one time.
- The whole concept of multitasking is a fallacy.
-
-
-
- While we can walk and talk, we can’t effectively solve two problems at once.
- We aren’t intended to run at high speeds, doing many things at once.
- When we are interrupted, it takes our brain up to 23 minutes to re-orient.
-
Try This Instead
-
-
- More: taking breaks, centering, creating open time, delegating, reflecting, walking, saying no, and being present/mindful.
- Less: overscheduling, slack/instant messaging, channel checking, doom scrolling, shut off distractions, increase the signal-to-noise ratio.
