The Myth of Multitasking

We can only confidently rely on our decision-making or critical thinking abilities if we commit 100 percent of our attention to a task. Multitasking causes us to fall behind on our own time-bound goals, and we suffer the harmful effects of others who try to multitask, such as distracted drivers and walkers.
