Episode Synopsis

Send us a textSo what is multitasking? Let’s start there. Indeed labels multitasking as the ability to manage multiple responsibilities at once by focusing on one task while keeping track of others. Multitasking creates a greater demand on your cognitive resources, like attention and working memory. Indeed also gives an example of responding to an email while listening to a podcast. That’s awesome. If you are listening to this podcast and sending an email, good job.  I want to talk about why this increase in brain activity can be bad for you. Links: https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/career-development/multi-tasking-skills#:~:text=Multitasking%20refers%20to%20the%20ability,one%20right%20after%20the%20otherhttps://thewell.unc.edu/2020/10/05/need-a-creativity-boost/#:~:text=Multitasking%20creates%20a%20greater%20demand,ways%20because%20of%20cognitive%20flexibilityhttps://www.indeed.com/career-advice/career-development/example-of-multitasking#:~:text=Here%20are%20the%20most%20common,while%20reading%20the%20fine%20printhttps://ascellus.com/how-cbt-can-help-with-multitasking/#:~:text=Trying%20to%20multitask%20produces%20changes,effective%20at%20focused%20serial%20unitasking.Single tasking is the new multitasking https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzbxpzKwDXASurvive Everyday InstagramSurvive Everyday FacebookSurvive Everyday GroupSupport our SponsorRyan-St Marie Insurance AgencySupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/surviveeveryday)Support the showSurvive Everyday on BlueskyAdam on TikTok
