Welcome or welcome back my dear bloggers to my daily blogs. I hope you all are in good health and are having a blast of a day.π
So lets dive right in todays topic. So we will be discussing about a very common thing in human beings, especially in todays world, that is MULTITASKING. Lets define what it is first.
So, as the name suggests, it is doing more than one work at a time. Now it seems very productive, so what is the issue with it. In reality, it is an illusion. Yes, you cant do anything else while doing one thing. You can not focus on one thing completely if you are indulging in other things. You think that you are multitasking, when in reality you are just task switching. You do some of one thing and then focus on the other and then come back to the previous thing and it goes on .. the problem is that you never concentrate on any of those things completely. Multitasking is just an illusion which shields Task switching.
You might think that doing two things at one time is rather productive. But no, the human brain lacks the ability to multitask. Focusing on one thing is much more effective than the latter.
[Multitasking] ββ Distraction.
The fact is that the multitaskers are more distracted than the people focusing on a single task. Get this in your mind and multitasking is a myth.
It takes a toll on you brain cells.
Multitasking can lead to some serious brain damage. According to a research conducted by the university of Sussex, the high multitaskers possess less brain density in their anterior cingulate cortex.( tbh i dont know what that isπ ) but this is the area of the brain which is responsible for emotional control and empathy.
It makes you dumber.
A study found out that the participants who multitasked had experienced drops in their IQ points, down to an 8 year old. Quality focus and concentration is required for learning, multitasking disrupts out ability to learn and interpret info.
It kills creativity.
Creativity is wasted by switching between tasks. Those brilliant ideas that may have crossed your brain, would simply pass by, during moments of task switching. So rather than ending your imagination, some extra time won't be bad.
So that was all for today, guys. I hope you learned something.
