Neuroscience professor Earl K. Miller at MIT reveals that multitasking is a myth, and our brains are wired to focus on one cognitively demanding task at a time, highlighting the detrimental effects of task-switching.
Research suggests that the quality of work suffers when we constantly switch tasks, urging a return to monotasking for improved productivity.
According to University of Utah professor Dr. Strayer, only 2.5% of individuals are genuine "supertaskers" who can effectively handle multiple streams of information, contradicting the perception of many self-proclaimed multitaskers.
