Many Millennials believe that their ability to use multiple devices at the same time makes them excellent at multitasking and increases their productivity. However, research shows that this is not actually the case.
Brain researchers have found that true multitasking is a myth. Instead, what we are actually doing is rapidly toggling between tasks or mentally juggling. In reality, we are not doing two things at once, but merely switching back and forth between them.
The problem is that shifting between tasks is not a quick or smooth process, especially when dealing with complex tasks. In fact, it can significantly slow us down. According to the Psychological Associations, transitioning between tasks can cost up to 40% of our productive time. What's more, self-proclaimed multitaskers make more mistakes than those who rarely multitask.
So, if you're a Millennial who prides themselves on their multitasking abilities, it might be time to reconsider. Instead of trying to do everything at once, it's better to focus on one task at a time and give it your full attention. This way, you'll be able to work more efficiently and effectively, and achieve better results.
