END OF THE MYTH OF MULTITASKING
The ad read “must be able to multitask in a fast-paced environment”
and you think you’re very good at multitasking. Human multitasking
is the performance by an individual appearing to handle more than
one task at a time. There is good news today and there is bad news.
If you are a computer you can actually perform multiple tasks at the
same time and do it very efficiently. If you are a human you can
actually perform ONE task at a time and do it very efficiently.
Multitasking can result in time wasted due to human context switching
causing more errors due to insufficient attention. A human cannot
effectively listen to an interview and type an unrelated email at the
same time and expect peak performance at both.
The good news is, as a human, you can do the one thing you are doing
at the moment very well and then move on to the next task. Excellence
and impeccability are their own rewards.
