Bregman offers multiple examples of study results, showing that multitasking would slow down a person’s productivity level up to 40 percent.

Two of the biggest people that multitask are business people and mom with children who can’t take care of themselves especially toddlers.

Now that I have read the article and thought about my own personal experiences with multi-tasking I agree with the authors point of view on how we should learn to stick with single-tasking. I agree with her because multi-tasking is hard and when you try to juggle so many things it can become stressful and you start to loose track of what your doing.

Instead of trying to multi-task I should just focus on one thing and it would make it easier on myself and others if they focused on one single…

From experience, when tasks have been accomplished without any secondary distraction, not only were they done more quickly but also proficiently.…
