The door of the unknown.

Now I don't know about you, but for me there is always topics I haven't really cared to learn about or put so much thought into them to learn more about 'em.This topic is about multitasking, the article that intrigued me is here: http://lifehacker.com/5041144/debunking-the-myth-of-multitasking (If you're lazy and don't feel like clicking on the link, don't worry I'm about to summarize it anyways.) This article talks about how multitasking reduces productivity. Now there's two different types of multitasking, (I know,I didn't know that either.) Background multitasking, and Switch
tasking. "Now what's the difference?" you may be asking yourself, an example of background multitasking is when your exercising you watch tv, and an example of switch tasking is having two assignments due tomorrow, and you switch back and forth between both tabs of your browser trying to get information for both while typing them. Well I mostly just use background multitasking because I can't really switch task, I tried watching two different anime at the same time, not side by side but like after one episode of anime 1 i'd watch the next episode of anime 2. After a while I started to get the plots to each separate anime mixed up so I just focused on finishing all the episodes of anime 1. Here's what I think: Just don't do it, I know its easier said than done, but try harder and you're not really finishing the activity any faster than you would have if your full attention was on it. If I would have never had to read this article for my class, this topic would have never came out from behind the door of unknown,I wouldn't have even knew about all of this. I wonder what other topics are back there also.
