In this episode I talk about the once king of productivity, yes you guessed it, multitasking. Do you find yourself, doing hundreds of things at once, all in the name of saving time? Got the phone in one hand a book in another, while you are driving to work and and scoffing down breakfast?

How else can we cope with the fast paced world that we live in?

What is multitasking really doing to us and are we really doing ourselves a favour by doing many things at once?

 

In this episode you will learn about:

  • Multitasking and your brain
  • What the research says about this technique
  • 3 reasons on why you need to stop your multitasking ways
