A recent article published in science journal nero-image revealed that when we attempt demanding tasks simultaneously,we end up doing neither as well as we should because our brain have cognitive limits. There was a study done at stanford university a group of students was asked to spend 30 minutes simultaneously compiling a music playlist, chatting and writing a short essay.
Asecond group focused on each task individually for 10 minutes each after ward they were given a memory test the single taskers did significantly better than their multi-tasking peers." A tremendous amount of evidence shows the brain does better when it's performing tasks in sequence rather than all at once we still dont know the long- term effects of chronic multi-tasking but theres no questions were bad at it,and it is bad for us.
I agree because our brain stores a minimal amount at a time which if we try to overcrowed our brain with to much at once it will result in confusion and error.verses if we take ourtime to absorb and respond to what were doing we will result in a much better out come.
I remember when i was working in the hospital we had a high cesus of 40 patients we had myself plus another tech, three nurses we had to admit patients,do vital signs,blood work,EKG,perform patient care for the new and existing patients,assist nurses,chart patient findings and doings.
By the time when it was almost time for the shift to end and we had to get ready to finish upwith patients to get ready for report. I went over what I needed to do for patient in chart's I found in doing simultanious tasks I had errors in spelling of names some chart was not completed ,some blood work was not done.I realized when I was not working under pressure my job was done more accurate because I was able to do everything one at a time I was ablr to think things through more before doing it.
In conclusion the article stated single taskers did significantlt better than multy taskers peers. Therefore the brain work faster and more prompt when things are being planned and thought through with more time to register,process what is needed done. focus is the goal and the key to get better results.
