## Resource

New research reveals that multitasking isn’t truly simultaneous—it’s just your brain rapidly switching between tasks, which actually hurts performance and accuracy. Even when you don’t feel overwhelmed, your focus is limited and constantly shifting, making it harder to absorb details. Brain imaging confirms this pattern across cognitive tasks, debunking the myth of efficient multitasking. In our notification-filled world, focusing on one thing at a time may be smarter—and more effective—than juggling everything.
