Summary of “Multitasking Can Make You Lose…Um…Um…Focus …Focus” Alina Tugend

Multitasking is part of our life since 1990. Multitasking gives us great pressure and reduces efficiency. Multitasking helps us to do different things at the same time. In fact, we are sacrificing focus. According to our work, multitasking can make us more creative by using different cognitive functions with fewer cognitive tasks. You can not extend attention to another task. You can switch tasks. Today's technology creates a very different world, we need to do more in less time

The prefrontal cortex helps us to switch tasks and prioritize, making our behavior more flexible. Multitasking can be used for routine tasks, but the brain has extreme bottlenecks to more cognitive processes. After the test, when we were faced with many visual stimuli, we focused on only one or two at a time. In addition, it has been tested that switching between more complex tasks takes more than two times. Even if it takes only a few seconds to switch tasks, they are summed.

Tasks that require real concentration can shorten the response time of driving even if it is below the influence of drugs and alcohol. In the real world, we are constantly interrupted. People are more likely to discontinue themselves than others, and it has been shown that they work faster but produce less when interrupted. Perhaps because the range of attention is getting narrower, you can see that the person processing the document is suspended every 12 minutes for unknown reasons. Disrupted tasks of only 20 minutes will lead to greater stress, frustration, workload, effort and stress

She thinks that it is not enough to solve the problem in 30 minutes of this project. Unlike attention deficit disorders with neurological grounds, the characteristics of attention deficit are entirely attributable to the environment. By changing our new boundary line, changing the culture of work, doing enough sleep and exercise, and finally by focusing on the work we have now, by teaching our own single task art You can control the burden. Finally, please tell us our own single task art by focusing only on the work in front of you.

Author Alina Tugend suggested to the reader that multitasking is invalid with the first article "Using multitasking can lose focus and lose focus". The authors develop her thesis by explaining to the reader that multitasking is necessary for the people of this society. To prove this theory, Tugend provided her a detailed explanation of her opinion and subject. The authors also stimulated the reader's view that multitasking is not beneficial as multiple activities simultaneously cause stress, anxiety, and loss of concentration (Tugend 717). Alina Tugend summarizes her articles and uses the solution to further serve the reader. Through this solution, the authors would like to encourage people to concentrate on one activity at a time.

Alina Tugend's "Multitasking may lose you ... Well ... Focus" Tell readers about the dangers and drawbacks of multitasking. The authors explain how this era has depended on multitasking since the 1990s. The author also inspired us for multitasking because having multiple activities at the same time could increase stress, anxiety and reduce concentration. Even if we believe that we are working at the same time, we just switch tasks that weaken our concentration. Neuroscience Professor Earl Miller explains how the human brain treats multitasking at the cognitive level. That is the reason for increasing stress and anxiety. Various studies have proved that multitasking is a part of people's characteristics because it can not concentrate on more than 12 minutes of activity and becomes inefficient. Multitasking seems to save a myriad of results such as time saving, slow response, pressure, poor quality of work.
