blog 16

   The article "how to do one thing at a time" is basiclly talking about the disadvantages and treatment of multi-tasking to our brain.An experiment was carried out at stanford university, where students where asked to multi-task,and some others were asked to work on it individually on the same task.After several minutes, the result was that the single-taskers did better than the multi-tasking is not yet known, but however you could repair your power of concentration by solution such as yoga acupuncture.
    the idea that i thing is most important to me is that "A tremendous amount of evidence shows that the brain does better when it's performing tasks in sequence rather than all at once. multi-tasking had been part of my life in my early years of high school, doing two things simultaneously, always helped me finish all my work on time, but less effective, And i always wonder why i was never doing well in school. One day on my way to school, i came across an article on a magazine about multi-tasking and it's chronic effect on the brain, i read the magazine and i found out that you are less effective when you multi-task, and i decided to give it a try, when i got home, i started doing all my home work in seguence, and i started having good grades in school.
     Also my friend who has lost his ability to concentrat because of chronic multi-tasking, took my advice and started taking yoga classes, and which helped him tremendously to sharpen his focus, because he was almost at the point of loossing his job, because he couldn't do any thing efficiently, and that was unlikely for a 4.0 graudate of business admin.
        yes we all know that multi-tasking is bad to our health both mentally and physically, but we still go ahead in doing it, because besed on the economical problems we have nowadays, we have to keep up to our various jobs,family,friend, and because of the need and the demand of doing this daily activites, multi-tasking has become part of us.
