It’s no longer newsworthy to report that multi-tasking is a myth. Neuroscience has discovered what psychology long suspected – our brain doesn’t really perform multiple cognitive tasks at the same time. Rather, it switches attention between them, spending precious fractions of a second to re-orient to the new task at hand with each switch. According to one frequently cited study , someone who frequently switches tasks throughout the day is 40% less productive than someone who focuses on one task

Neuroscience tells us that this change of pace is extremely valuable. Your brain uses these new sensations to build new neural pathways, and the break from routine stimulates higher, more creative thought while it reduces stress.
