Multitasking


 * __Multitasking__**

With the use of so much technology in today's society, multitasking can be easy to do with apps, smartphones, and the internet. But is this really a postitive thing? The sound of it can be decieving.

In reality, the human brain **CANNOT** focus on more than one thing at a time. Our brain is programmed to prioritize tasks based on importance (or which one is most closely related to survival.) So when we try to do two, three, or more tasks at a time, we are overriding our brain's programming usually with unsatisfactory results. (Take driving and texting as an example).

**So what are the benefits of taking things one task at a time?** Taking things one at a time can seem slower, but in reality higher quality work will be done in less time than when trying to split focus between multiple tasks. For example, if you are working on multiple projects at once, they are more likely to be disorganized and sloppy. Prioritizing, then completing one of the projects before moving on to the next will pay off with better projects, and higher grades.
