The science of multitasking, and why you should doodle in class
September 7, 2018 by Jim Davies, The Conversation
When somebody can juggle lots of things at the same time, we often say that they are good "multitaskers." All of us multitask once in a while.
But psychologists have been warning us about it for decades. Some say it's harmful to productivity and others say you can't do it at all.
For example, talking on the phone while driving makes your driving worse, because you're distracted. (Laws allowing hands-free cellphone use are misguided; distracted driving has nothing to do with whether you're using your hands or not.)
