What if you practice this? ..”I am the greatest multitasker of all time” “I am the best multitasker”

Ooh he alternated instead of multitasking lol. Multitasking would be using both hands. Activities should take place at the same time 🤷🏽‍♂️but makes sense.

but how about, while im waiting for my food to boil or simmer during cooking, I little by little wash the dishes, I feel like I saved time doing two things at once

turns out I can think about what I need to do in a game whilst alternatively using different inputs on a controller whilst yelling at my tm8 through a mic whilst breathing. Yet she says the brain can't multitask😭

I sincerely don't go with this Analogy, it just about how much time you plan your self for each job. after all the first scenario was still multi task while the second scenario was jumping from one to another

Both examples were both multitasking💯 But brain were given 2 task and deviced a plan on how to handle it with shortest time. The first scenario used less time because the brain had a plan, while the second scenario took a lot of time because it was multitasking with a poor plan 😁 THANK ME LATER

multitasking is to do it in-between waiting time time of the other activity...not to be switching focus

Thats a stupid example . BTW . Bcz up and down movement of the hand is taking extra time . Not the actual task .

Hi, dyslexic here. Ask me to focus on one thing, especially writing something on paper, and watch me die… This comparison makes no sense. It isn’t measuring multitasking. It’s measuring the loss of momentum caused by jumping back and forth between two separate tasks. That’s like saying you can’t win a race by jumping between ten cars. No shit. That isn’t multitasking. Actually driving one car is multitasking: feet, clutch, steering, mirrors, speed, traffic, surroundings, all working together at once. Plus thinking about dinner, what I did today, the funny video I saw, listening to talk radio, and having an argument in my head with someone who isn’t even in the car… that’s multitasking. So no, everybody’s brain does not work the same way, and this experiment is bogus.

traveling time from top to bottom adds up.

This is a silly exercise. The time lost was due to the alternating motion of the hand.

While maybe not as efficient. Multi tasking is seriously good for your brain. Cardio for the brain let’s say. This whole idea that burning energy is bad and u need to conserve energy is faulted. You should use every last bit of energy in you every day.

Obviously it’s going to be slower in the 2nd scenario because of the time it takes to alternate between both lines. Do people actually believe this?

well, I know there's research that shows that your brain can't really multi task but this escape is terrible because he has to move his hand up and down every time so it's not a fair measurement.

humans don't do multitasking, what we do is switch-tasking just in a very fast pacing that we believe we are multitasking

Y’all don’t know musicians, take a drummer for instance. Plays four different things while focusing on the metronome and also thinking of the next things to play all at once

multi tasking? or deliberate planning? (meaning keeping your mind a few steps ahead of what you're gonna do)
