[...] The dangers of multitasking received some attention on the heels of a report published by the British Institute of Psychiatry back in 2005. In addition to finding that multitasking erodes productivity, it also found amusing impacts which it likened to smoking pot and taking 10 points off of an employees IQ. The brief BBC account is here.

It seems to work well for me, unless it’s just my imagination….anyway this a.m. i was out praticing otherwise….
Aloha..From the newbee on your site…You might remember me as Kalyani.

Rav,
When I am on the internet I usually have 3 or 4 browsers open at a time so I can ‘multitask’….youtube, vegsource, my blog, my email. I am wondering if this is not as affective as focussing on one?
What do you do?

I have been strength training lately by doing only one muscle group per work out. today I did 100 pullups in a 20min period…two days ago I did 120 pushups thr0ughout the day…i am really loving this style of training instead of multitasking my strength training and supersetting as I always have.
