While many people think multitasking is ‘cool’ and it helps you do more work in less time, but psychology shows that in reality it reduces one’s efficiency and increases the chances of making more mistakes. Switching between tasks forces your brain to re-focus repeatedly, which wastes valuable energy. Instead, practice focusing on a single-task at a time before moving on to the next. This helps improve your accuracy, speed, and reduces stress.
To avoid multitasking, reduce your distractions like silence notifications, close unnecessary tabs, and set a timer for focused work sessions.
