Multitasking

Multitasking or multitasking is the process of performing multiple tasks simultaneously. Multitasking also involves managing different tasks, shifting attention from one activity to another, or carrying out two or more activities successively.

 

In the workplace, multitasking is a common practice when people need to handle different responsibilities, projects, or demands at the same time. However, performing several tasks simultaneously can affect concentration, increase execution times, and reduce the quality of work, as the brain needs time to adapt when switching from one activity to another.

 

The appropriate use of planning and time management tools helps reduce cognitive overload and promotes a more productive and sustainable way of working.
