**Some multitasking is possible, but multitasking within a channel should be avoided at all costs. **
👉 Multitasking isn't getting a lot of things done at once, it's getting nothing done on a lot of different avenues simultaneously.
Multitasking, the ways most people traditionally think of it, is not “working on many things at once”, it’s rapidly switching between between working on several things before any of them are finished. This is a bad habit, as each of those switches involves switching contexts in your head. Your mental RAM is consumed by multiple applications at once, and you’re only able to maintain surface-level thoughts and information about each of the constituent tasks you’re working on. See Context Loading.
Worse, constantly using the Attentional Switch leads to quicker Decision Fatigue.
The one exception to this guidance is Multichannel Multitasking.
