The Dangers of Multitasking + other Weekly Discoveries
How multitasking affects our brains (& how to do it right), super fascinating facts about cows, a pro-abortion nun, and more…
We all multitask. We check our email, then switch back to our work, then check our phones… but this isn’t actually how the brain was designed to work. Apparently, we’d be much more effective and productive if we took 15 minute do-nothing-but-stare breaks every couple of hours. I’m going to try to start doing this. Are you?

Multitasking Drains Your Brain’s Stored EnergyFor all us multi-taskers, taking breaks doesn’t seem to come naturally anymore. But science shows that’s exactly what we need to do… |
| People generally (mistakenly) think they’ll get something better by paying more for it. See what happens when a Brazilian pet store passes of shelter pets as purebreds for sale: |

That younger self thing is freaky. I’m now messing with Photoshop to see what it looks like for me. I’m kinda stressing about it….

Pretty amazing stuff.Multitasking is increasingly common in our digital age, multitasking may be causing a state of heightened mental stress “because we’re constantly scanning the environment and we know that chronic stress is not good for the brain.”

Cows might seem to be simple animals, but they’re not! Cows are fascinating animals. I’m so amazed that Cows carry their young for nine months ….I mean I didn’t know that before now; its so amazing.

Amazing series!! Multitasking is very dangerous for our brain. When we multitask all day, those scattered habits literally change the pathways in our brains.Very interesting to know facts about cows.

Great article!! Everyone know women multitask, it’s an accepted thing especially when you have children other wise nothing would get done. Then going to work if someone’s speaking and your typing or you get a telephone call usually you have half and ear on the conversation or you’d miss it so we call it nosey but I prefer to call it interested

These articles are great ! 🙂
I realized that when I work on something important, I grab a cup of coffee almost every 2 hours. I drink too much of it. I needed to find out what to do to drink less of it, and now I have the idea. 🙂 Celebrity photos are a bit frightening, I must admit. 😀 Nevertheless, their younger selves are quite cute, but they also aged quite well to be beautiful ladies as they are today ! 🙂 Sister Joan Chittister is absolutely on point. I like the distinction between pro-life and pro-birth.

I got the message of the video, but I still wish there’s an English translation or subtitle.

I don’t multi-task (well I do because I check my phone while drinking my afternoon tea or coffee). But that’s it, I mean I set schedule for everything. I feel more productive that way. I also organize and prioritize work loads. I finish a task first before touching (or attempting) to work on the next. Great research!
