While multitasking seems to make you save time like slower reflects more stress and less quality work. This neuroscientist researched that when there are a lot of visual stimulant’s in front of a human, only one or two things tend to activate your

Prefrontal cortex seems to help us switch and prioritize task miller says. Which is what basically makes us get more adjustable into our behavior. Multitasking is very possible for our everyday routine tasks, but the brain is what has a severe bottleneck for more cognitive activity. It has been tested that when we are faced with many visual stimulants, we only focus on no more than two at a time. This has been tested and that it says that by switching between more complicated task will take remarkably much more longer time than doing them one at a time even though switching between task will only take very little time they will add
