One more thought for the day! Multitasking! Ahhhhh

I'm sitting here in the Chicago Airport working and chatting with a friend of mine who is in Kansas City. She is working while we chat and I'm working while we chat. The question is are we being effective in our tasks.

I'm going to argue against myself here and suggest that the answer is No. While Multitasking allows us to do more or at least think that we are doing more, the question is are we really accomplishing more? NO we are simply dividing our limited brain power between several activities instead of giving one activity its due thought process.

I'm not suggesting that we should do away with multitasking, but we just need to make sure we don't make it a habit.

The article below made me really re-think multitasking and if your wonder if I read it while I was doing all this? The answer is

Yes of course I was while I was typing, talking on the phone and listening to my 3rd favorite talkshow, the Sean Hannity show.
