You’re Doing it Wrong: Multitasking is Not A Best Practice
Most professionals know that doing any two things at the exact same time probably means you aren’t doing either very well. I am not saying that every task or project must be solved before a new one is begun. It’s perfectly OK to have 10 tabs open on your browser and multiple files open on your computer. We all have our own little tricks for staying on top of our responsibilities. But we must not confuse having multiple assignments with multitasking. We all can balance numerous responsibilities and multiple systems on the same day. The problem with valuing multitasking is cultural. We think the best way to communicate skill or value is by looking really really busy.
