We all multitask to some degree, but do any of us do it well? And is that even possible?
Picture this: you're texting a friend while trying to walk, or maybe reading an article with music playing in the background. Sound familiar? We all multitask, but have you ever wondered if we're actually any good at it? This episode of 'All In The Mind' dives into the nitty-gritty of multitasking. Host Lynne Malcolm, along with some top-notch experts, breaks down why our brains struggle with juggling tasks and why some folks seem better at it than others.
Spoiler alert: it's not as effective as we might think. You'll hear real-life stories about the pitfalls of trying to do too much at once, like the classic blunder of driving while on the phone or scrolling through social media during a TV show. But don't worry, it's not all bad news. The episode also shares tips on how to multitask more effectively if you absolutely have to.
From focusing techniques to training your brain for specific tasks, there's some light at the end of the tunnel. Curious about whether you can really master the art of multitasking? Tune in and find out.
