Multitasking doesn't work - Shirley de Rose

Students of Success have observed thru the years that FOCUS on one objective at a time is a key to success. Everything else is distraction and slows down the rate of accomplishment. Do we no longer have the ability to focus or do we no longer choose to focus?

Shouldn't the callouts in the Object Rotation Task graphic be labeled Occipital Lobes?

Type of Multitasking - Creative user

Thank you posting this visual that sends a powerful message with results. Multitasking can realistically be possible mostly when one of the tasks is mechanical. e.g. a phone call while doing laundry.

Consequences Source? - Richard Tibbles
