Here's why I'm a 1.5 tasker and not a multitasker

In my previous post, 1.5-tasker, I explained what is and why I'm a 1.5 tasker. Of course, I do wish at times I could do a little more in the same amount of time. Maybe be able to multitask a little, rather than being a single tasker with a .5 task distraction distractor. Well... not anymore, I'm glad to a certain degree that I can't really multitask. From the Creating Passionate Users' blog:

But where I once believed that the myth of multitasking was about time (that doing four things simultaneously takes much longer than to do those same four things in sequence), scientists now know it's also about quality. And it gets worse... it's not just that the quality of those four things in parallel will suffer, it's that your ability to think and learn may suffer. Some researchers believe that all this constant, warpspeed, always-on multitasking is causing young people, especially, to become less able to follow any topic deeply. (more on that in another post)
