Blog 1: "How To Do One Thing At a Time"

I've recently read a passahe titled " How to do one thing at a time. " This passage was about multitasking and how most of the times it can be very effective on our lives. Examples like talking on the phone while driving, isn't as dangerous as sending an email while talking to a friend on the phone.


Recently at Standford University a group of students did some experiments; Multitasking Vs Doing one thing at a time. One group of students were asked to do some activities at the same time while another group of students were asked to take 10 minutes with each activity. When testing for memory, it was proven that the people who spent 10 minutes on each activity had a clearer mind and as for the multitaskers they couldnt recall every single detail due to the distractions of doing things all at once.

I, myself am sometimes a multitasker. When i am studying sometimes i will watch tv while eating. I realized however that whenever i do multitask my mind isn't fully devoted to one activity. This is why i rather do one thing at a time. Multitasking has it's pros and cons, as mentioned in the article it is a dumb idea to text while driving. A clearer mind is always safer if you set your mind to one thing and proceed to another activity seperately.
