Multitaskers:

• Did a significantly worse job filtering out the irrelevant information.
• Took longer than non-multitaskers to switch among tasks.
• Less efficient at juggling problems.
• Tended to search for new information rather than accept a reward for putting older, more valuable information to work.
• Process visual and auditory input less efficiently.
• Become reliant on more a more simplistic, and often inferior, thought process, and can thus fall prey to perceptual decoys.

Maybe multitasking gives the illusion of productivity without achieving higher volume...

We tolerate the pathologies of quantification — a dry, abstract, mechanical type of knowledge — because the results are so powerful.

“The work you do while you procrastinate is probably the work you should be doing for the rest of your life.”

This is the sort of site online video should be used for — meeting people face to face matters when sharing earned wisdom or good advice.
