Is Multitasking Really More Efficient?

[Benji77]

I hate multi-tasking. Its a term exploited by Management to say that if you cant complete your tasks, you are incompetent.

I dont mean to be sexist, but the women bosses always think that muti-tasking the way to go. I agree that women do better at multi-tasking. But that does not mean that everyone has to do it.

I call it cluster-f***********
why cant we take things one at a time, and not bog ourselves down so much!

Who cares what they say right!

google the internet, n there r thousands of pages of negative view on multitasking.
