7 Reasons Why Multitasking Is Not the Answer

Multitasking has been praised by many as the secret sauce to reaching success at record speeds, but sometimes this may not always be the answer. 7 reasons why this may not be the best case include causing people to lose focus, a decrease in memory since you are focusing on so much at once, and disorganization.

Key Takeaways:

  • Employees and employers who frequently switch through various tasks and projects end up having troubles in focusing their attention.
  • Multitasking can be one of the most active times for your brain. This can cause an over-stimulation of the cognitive function, which can lead to memory loss.
  • Competing as a business predominantly comes down to who performs better. Project success is also affected by performance and as a project manager, you’d want to remove as many inefficiencies or “bugs” as you can from your work processes in order to get the most out of your time and team members.
