We often think multitasking saves time—but in reality, it reduces efficiency and increases stress. Here’s why:
- Brain switching is slow: Your brain doesn’t truly do tasks simultaneously—it switches, and it costs time.
- More mistakes: You’re more likely to make errors.
- Mental fatigue: Multitasking drains your focus faster.
What to do instead?
- Batch similar tasks
- Use a task list
- Turn off distractions
- Practice monotasking – Focus on one task at a time.
Productivity isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing what matters, better.
