Multitasking isn't really possible, because of the way the human brain works. We know you think you're getting more done, but you're really working slower and with worse results than working sequentially. We promise.
In this Stuff You Should Know episode, Josh and Chuck dive into the science behind multitasking and reveal some surprising truths about what happens when we try to juggle multiple tasks at once. They explore fascinating research from brain imaging studies and psychology experiments that show why our attempts at multitasking might actually be making us less productive, not more. The hosts break down concepts like "task switching," processing bottlenecks, and the rare phenomenon of "supertaskers" while examining whether humans can really do what computers do when handling multiple operations.
