Many believe multitasking saves time, but our brains aren’t wired like web browsers to keep multiple tabs working. Instead, they rapidly switch between tasks, draining energy and reducing focus.

While rapidly switching between tasks, your brain is more likely to lose focus and make mistakes.

Constantly juggling through multiple tasks puts more pressure on your brain, activating the brain's stress response, and making you feel anxious and overwhelmed.

When you are managing many tasks at once, keeping track of all of them equally, can be challenging. As a result, your brain may find it difficult to retain new information.
