Do you think that you are a good multitasker? You might be wrong
Do you feel that you are good at doing multiple tasks at the same time and have powerful brain than others then you might need to read this-
Researches have shown that human brain actually can't multitask,read the article to know more:
The short answer to whether people can really multitask is no. Multitasking is a myth. The human brain cannot perform two tasks which require high-level brain function at once. Low-level functions like breathing and pumping blood are not considered in multitasking, only tasks you have to think about. What actually happens when you think you are multitasking is that you are rapidly switching between two or more tasks.
The first is goal shifting. Goal shifting happens when you switch your focus from one task to another.
The second stage is rule activation. Rule activation turns off the rules (how the brain completes a given task) for the previous task and turns on the rules for the new task.
So when you think you are multitasking you are actually switching your goals and turning the respective rules on and off in rapid succession. The switches are fast (tenths of a second) so you may not notice them, but those delays and the loss of focus can add up.
