Stop multitasking! Success at work and memory control may be at risk.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Our attention has a limited capacity, so, prefering more than one task at a time could be dangerous.<\/p>\n

Recent studies\u00a0proved that being\u00a0bombarded with several streams of information makes worker produce less than those who choose only one task at a time.<\/p>\n

Multitasking behaviors are on the rise globally<\/p><\/div>\n

The brain specializes in only one thing at a time, so two or more will show a less efficient\u00a0result.<\/p>\n

IQ: At risk while multitasking<\/strong><\/h6>\n

A survey from the University of London<\/a> showed\u00a0IQ scores tend to decline while practicing more than one task.<\/p>\n

Across the workplace, it is very common to see somebody texting while attending a meeting, but the truth is, you are neither texting correctly or putting attention.<\/p>\n

Multitasking also puts at risk your self and social awareness while defying emotional intelligence and understanding skills.<\/p>\n

Sounds like putting your brain through a lot, huh?<\/p>\n

Not for everyone<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Although some might say multitasking is a skill, it actually results in a decrease of work productivity.<\/p>\n

A University of Utah study<\/a>, were people were evaluated in dual-tasks, and the most part did not do as well.<\/p>\n

Over 97% of the population interviews could not perform them without incurring substantial costs in performance.<\/p>\n

However, the same studies found that a great deal of people believe\u00a0that the laws of attention do not apply to them.<\/p>\n

How we interact with our mobile devices have transformed our attention span and ability to concentrate.<\/p>\n

Dr. Kep-Kee Loh<\/a>, neuroscientist in Lyon, France, has said this phenomenon extends to academic settings and has implications for education.<\/p>\n

The multi-functional Internet technologies that invade our lifestyle create a higher distractibility and deprive us from executive control and capability to put attention.<\/p>\n

A solution for today<\/strong><\/h6>\n

In his final conclusions, Dr. Kep-Kee states that a short-term mindfulness<\/a> training course of two weeks can reduce mind wandering tendencies and better multitasking risks.<\/p>\n

A small vacation for your brain<\/a> can also be a smart way to help your mind focus and achieve.<\/p>\n
