In this day and age, we are expected to do more and more in a shorter period of time. Lets face it, we all wish there were more hours in the day. One way we try to cram everything we need to do, in our limited 24 hours is multitasking. Now researchers and scientists are not able to prove that multitasking can have an effect on your health, but they do know that if your multitasking then what you are working on is not going to come out to your full potential compared to if you were just working on one thing at a time. Scientists have also discovered that people with ADHD multitask, simply because its a hobby, something they like to do. They can only do one thing for so long before they get bored of it and need to switch activities. Multitasking can be an extremely dangerous thing, multitasking that involves driving a car, and maybe a cell phone, leads to an extreme amount of car accidents every year.
I enjoyed reading this article on multitasking and ADHD because it was eye opening, but i did not like that fact that the title made it seem life multitasking really did have an effect on your health, but then in the first or second paragraph you learn that it has no effect. That was the only factor of this reading i did not enjoy, I believe the author did a great job luring people in with the articles title, and then through out the reading.
I definitely wish there were more hours in the day. I would get so much more done! The title of your post lured me in, and finding out there is no known effect was very contradicting!
