Nope, I'm not doing any of those things while I'm reading (and writing) this. What an amazing revelation -- should anyone really be surprised? I learned long ago to do one thing at a time. Oops! Gotta go. My coffee's ready!

Impossible NOT to multi-task in modern business.

You might have noticed most of these negative articles about multitasking are written by men. What men do not understand, is that for a woman, multitasking is as natural as having breasts. If we do not multitask, we become less focused, foggy, and near collapse.

I thought this might be a rehash of the laptop computers overheating mens testicles story. Women claim we think with our d*cks anyway.

I found it interesting. I am on the computer all day at various tasks. I've noticed my eyes are bloodshot, I get headaches and find it difficult sometimes to keep focused on files I'm creating, emails I sending, people who come into my office for information etc. 9 1/2 hrs a day, I feel scatter brained occasionally. Not really at my best.

I try to stay on one task at a time, but it's tough. When I do, I feel more productive and I get more done. When I find myself "multi-tasking" (like getting distracted by articles like this), it's often keeping tabs on something superfluous. That's the real downside to the sheer mountain of content we have at our fingertips. How much time do we spend taking in short-term trivial stuff at the expense of digging in and absorbing something that we'll be able to learn from and use long term?

I reckon that we synthesize relatively few pieces of the hour-to-hour / day-to-day data that we are exposed into meaningful information, and precious little of the information that we retain accumulates into wisdom.

We are usually multi-tasks office jobs; and we sometimes do multi-tasks of chores at home.

There have not been any problems of mult-tasks.

Physical activity is the best to improve your health and mindset. I have tried jogging, yoga and these activites are definitely worth it. Playing with a computer will not increase bloodflow to the brain. Move, move, move.

Isn't it a little ironic that the advice to log off the Internet is in an article on the Internet?
