Question about multitasking

[jacknine119]

Guys, i interest if multitasking is such harmful for our cognitive abilities, is it okay to listen podcasts during car driving or during showering?

Optimization of time is different than multitasking.

Multitasking is problematic when you are involved in high cognitive tasks simultaneously. Your brain needs to switch modes and that is inefficient. Nonetheless, non cognitive demanding tasks (driving) can be done simultaneously with low to medium demanding tasks (listening to podcasts).

Besides, experiment yourself and see.

@Davino what about you? Are you listening podcasts during driving or showering?

@jacknine119 I don't like podcasts that much. You can watch videos while eating for example or meditate on the train or on the bus.
