The more we multi-task, the less we are able to focus properly on just one thing.
Bloom heck these researchers are insightful. I can't wait to see their research on the shitting habits of bears.
The more we multi-task, the less we are able to focus properly on just one thing.
When I did A Level psychology (all those years ago) this was writ large through all the academic research into the area. It is hardly ground breaking news.
As an aside, the research also shows that multi-tasking performance improves with practice. So I reckon, completely unscientifically, that what happens is that lasses on some level think 'Everyone says women can multi-task...so I MUST be able to do this...' so see no reason NOT to multi-task from a comparitively early age...whereas blokes are continuously told the opposite and so rarely attempt to do more than one thing at once. Additionally 'male' activities such as sports, computer games etc (both male dominated areas, particularly at school age) are not conducive to multi-tasking, further re-enforcing the 'myth'.
That's very broad brush and I apologize in advance for anyone offended by anything I've written as it touches on gender and gender-differences, which can be a bit of a minefield.
why is multi tasking a good thing, I say do one thing- do it right.
Well it's nice to be kissed and fondled at the same time, I'm sure you'll agree, so don't whinge about the evils of multitasking too much...
Well yes but when she starts reading 'Take a break' over me shoulder I think its gone too far ๐
in my experience, women are better at Multi-tssking. Dirty bike in shower? "Tssk!" Left the fridge door open? "tssk!". Kicked the neighbours cat? Double "Tssk!".
hah I can multi task then. I've been known to do two different things with my hands, kiss, and still manage to breath. pffft, useless bloody researchers.
See ๐ you guys are more talented then you gave yourself credit for...

everything improves with practice it is caled learning iirc.
As for mult-tasking I can type on stw and ignore my workload.
