## Resource

Your brain literally shuts down when you multitask—new research reveals how juggling too many tasks triggers the prefrontal cortex to go offline, leaving you less focused and less productive. Using advanced imaging, scientists confirm what we’ve all felt: multitasking isn’t just inefficient—it’s biologically damaging. The effects linger too, leaving your brain needing time to reboot. Bottom line? Focus on one thing at a time. Your brain—and your productivity—will thank you. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
