Is multitasking effective?

Asked by Frank M.

OptiModel's answer

No—studies show multitasking reduces focus and quality. For example, answering emails while on a Zoom call often means missing key details in both. Instead, try task batching: dedicate one block to emails, one to creative work, one to calls. Focusing deeply on one thing at a time increases efficiency and reduces stress.
