Is multitasking a good thing?

A couple of weekends ago, my husband and I watched the movie, “I Don’t Know How She Does It,” starring Sarah Jessica Parker. Of course, we had a debate in front of the Red Box about whether or not it would be any good (hubby agreed it was).

Parker's overextended character is a brokerage firm professional who manages to juggle it all – amidst coming to work with pancake batter in her hair, remembering in the middle of coming home from a business trip she has promised to bake a pie for her daughter’s school bake sale the next morning, and so on. As she says, she keeps juggling, but never gets to toss anything to someone else. Sound familiar?

I found this interesting article on multitasking or, rather, how not to, and thought I’d share it with you:
