Why Multitasking Reduces Productivity
在当今社会，multitasking 很受欢迎，但它会降低 productivity。当多个任务同时进行时，缺乏 cognitive 专注力。任务之间会产生 distraction，这会降低工作的 efficiency。
不同任务之间会发生 fragmentation，这使得无法对每个任务给予足够的 concentration。这些 impediments 最终会产生 detrimental 影响，subsequent 的工作无法顺利完成。
然而，monotasking 或逐个完成工作可以提高我们的专注力和 synergy。它集中工作重点，并 optimizes 时间的使用。
因此，与其进行 multitasking 和处理大量的 workload，不如采取 deliberate 和单独的工作方式，这样更具 productive。
