Multitasking…the ultimate in efficiency! Resumes and job descriptions routinely state that a person is or must be a good "multitasker". Comparatively, advertisers for many companies market their products based on its ability to allow the user to multitask. The concept of more with less has become commonplace which has caused employers and their employees to embrace the notion that multitasking gets the job done. But, is multitasking simply task switching without giving full attention to any one task? Are we really able to work of multiple projects at the same time? Join us as we explore this topic at the next scheduled article review. This is a TWO SESSION course
