Over the past few years, I’ve told many of my friends not to multi-task. I just don’t think it’s nice to split your focus. It’s especially insulting when they go, “A-huh” to everything you say on the phone while they were busy doing something else.
Most are proud of their glorified God given talent, but that won’t stand for long.
Compared with those who rarely used more than one type of media at a time, heavy multitaskers had slower response times, most often because they were more easily distracted by irrelevant information, and because they retained that useless information in their short-term memory. CNN
Multi-tasker tends to retain short-term memory and affects their ability to focus … they aren’t sure if it’s reversible.
I hate to break to you, but I told you so.
ps: Still angry at someone. If you want to learn something, open your heart and listen. Kalau bodoh sombong, sampai bile takkan masuk ilmu.

This is something 😉 And I agree, the lack of concentration part there.
sombong dengan ilmu bodoh yg masuk dalam kepala
seeloknya tumpukan pada satu-satu kerja pada satu masa.
tetapi ada gak kes terpaksa uruskan 2-3 kerja serentak.
nk buat cmna udah kerja. klau sendiri bos ok la 😉
fokus! perkara paling susah untuk aku kekalkan. namun aku tak nafikan jika mahu sesuatu kerja menjadi terbaik!

same goes to me, my computer can’t cope with my thinking speed.
multi-tasking eat a lot of my brain’s RAM. haha.
I know I am a person who can’t multi-task. I almost screw up my SPM because of multi-tasking.
But then again, here I am in a small office, where all staffs are forced to multi-task! Ergh!~
Listening to music while working is also considered multi-tasking. They even have the term “Media Multitasking Index”.
I totally second you, and here’s my read link.

Oh! Listening to music while working is multi tasking? I thought that’s brain muscle? Sort of like driving and shifting gears at the same time.
HAHAHA. speak like a true geek!
I have no problem with RAM, however, as I grow older, I realised my processor can’t support new technology. Still running PentiumIII 500Mhz. LoL!

aduh! saya seorang yang multi tasking person and workaholic….ye sokong pendapat NH~ mmg tak dpt focus
Hahaha. Mane ade aku marah dgn ko. Aku marah kt adik aku.
hohoho…bende multi-task yg paling slalu aku buat is when i was busy doing sthng & had to call someone, i just dialed the number and wait till that person picked up the phone..but in the end i often forget that i had actually made the call & the person at the other end of the line was like, “hello!hello!Muni!Muni…ko salah tekan ke ape?”..
Now, some of my friends who used to get that from me already know that I didn’t mistakenly dialed their number and they will say,”ko slalu camtuh..”
when i resigned my boss had regretted it and had said its hard to find someone with versatility and can do everything. that is when i knew i had made the right decision to resign :)). i just can do the versatility aka multitask anymore. just so damn hard to focus.
i tak buat apa2 pun susah nak concentrate ckp on the phone. haha.
