Multitaskers are Delusional

For those of you still unconvinced, there’s more research featured in this BBC article showing that multitasking is counter-productive. Even more interesting is the fact  that people who think that they are bad at it are actually more productive than people who think they are good at it!

“The shocking discovery of this research is that [high multitaskers] are lousy at everything that’s necessary for multitasking… (and) when you ask the low multitaskers, they all think they’re much worse at multitasking and the high multitaskers think they’re gifted at it.”
