POPSSelf Proclaimed Multitaskers Aren't that Good at Multitasking
Anyone who claims they can multitask is LYING. The human brain cannot multitask, PERIOD. You might think you're multitasking, but you are really switching between tasks in your brain. Every time you switch tasks, your brain has to reload the context of what it was last doing on that task. This is not a big deal for small tasks, as the state information is not that much. But the bigger (conceptually) a task is, the longer it takes to reload all the state information into your brain, and the bigger the efficiency hit against you is. If you find that you can do things no problem by switching tasks, it most likely means that what you're doing is not that mentally demanding, or you are not being effective in what you're doing. A perfect example is if you are surfing the web, watching TV, and twittering at the same time. You might be able to do all 3 of those tasks at once, but no one can argue that any of those things requires more than a sliver of brainpower.

POPSTraining your brain to multitask! Should you? This article reminds me of when I used to teach Time Management courses for corporate HR programs. No matter how many strategies you would try to teach, it all really came down to a single principle: You can only do one thing at a time well. I used to call it O.T.A.T. meaning "one thing at a time." Multitask basically meant switching activities quickly. Technology supports this speeding up process...read the article and tell my your thoughts.

POPSWe are all "infovores" Will Richardson tweeted this article so I thought I would share it. I know for one that I am like the example of the "cat & a laser pointer" when it comes to information. I keep searching, keep adding to my reader - even though I cannot keep up. I tried to dial back but it was impossible. I even deleted feeds that I no longer read but I just keep adding when something interesting comes up. Maybe this bombardment of information is why kids think they can multitask? Beats me but it makes me wonder.

POPS The Nose 'Knows' and More Memory Exercises Have a boss who likes to give pop quizzes after he talks for two hours? Keep your mind focused during meetings by meditating beforehand. Studies show it's a great way to boost your attention span -- and "attention is the main door to memory," says Sonia Lupien, Ph.D., director of the Center for Studies on Human Stress at the Douglas Institute in Montreal, Canada. Never meditated before? Sit or lie on the floor in a quiet room in a comfortable position, rest both hands on your stomach, and breathe deeply, focusing on the silence. Try to meditate for at least 10 minutes daily.
