Multitasking has become a virtue in modern business, but it may come at great cost. While the brain can focus on two tasks simultaneously by splitting labor between hemispheres, managing more than two tasks reduces efficiency significantly. Frequent interruptions cost the average knowledge worker 2.1 hours per day and $588 billion annually for businesses. Multitasking also increases stress levels, which impacts health and reduces creativity needed for innovation. True focus on one task at a time may be more productive approach.

Multitasking: Maximum Effectiveness, Minimum Errors.Rommie Duckworth
Multitasking has long been a part of emergency services but only recently have advances in neuroscience, cognitive psychology and functional MRI studies allowed us to peer into the multitasking mind and the parts of the brain that control it. New information shows us how we can better train our students and ourselves to improve multitasking, filter out “task noise” and identify when to sidestep multitasking to avoid costly clinical, tactical and managerial mistakes.
Teaching Formats:
-Lecture
-Demonstration Exercises
-Question and Answer
Learning Objectives: Students will learn:
- The difference between multitasking and task-switching.
- The function of the Executive System of the brain.
- The difference between automatic and controlled thought processes.
- How to focus training to prepare students for a multitasking environment.
- When and how to avoid multitasking for better trouble-shooting and decision-making (clinical, tactical, managerial).

iOS 9 introduced multitasking, which allows apps to be used side by side on certain devices. Along with this came a number of new APIs for handling transitions between different screen configurations. However, integrating these new APIs in an exiting codebase can be trick, and often requires rethinking the way a component is structured. This talk will introduce multitasking, cover the new APIs available to handle different scenarios, and walk through some gotchas when adding support for multitasking into existing applications.

In an interview, David Rock, founder of the NeuroLeadership Institute, talked about how scientists' growing understanding of the brain illuminates techniques for leadership and decision-making. Rock said mindfulness is the ability to be meta-cognitive or to think about your thinking. Labeling is the ability to put words on your mental state -- for instance, to articulate when you are feeling anxious. All involve an area of the brain that is central for self-regulation -- the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex. Researchers are discovering that self-regulation -- regulating emotion, regulating your thoughts, regulating your attention -- is essential in leadership. The optimal leader is adaptive. Leaders have to know when to be dogmatic in their beliefs and when to be collaborative, when to get granular and when to be big-picture-focused. To be adaptive, you must have an integrated brain. A big part of the creative process is using your non-conscious brain, because the problems being tackled are simply too big for conscious processing resources.

The four domains of NeuroLeadership; problem solving, emotion regulation, collaborating and facilitating change provide an interesting lens through which to examine the field of global leadership development. Leaders today face greater challenges than ever before as they work across multiple geographies, functions, product lines and national cultures. Neuorscience provides a useful framework for understanding how leaders gain insights while learning to work in new ways across traditional boundaries in a borderless world. Leaders, therefore, need to be able to see and process information in new ways, making connections between phenomena that have never been linked before in their minds. This is systems thinking, and it is the hallmark of resourceful and innovative leaders throughout history

What is it? Are we aware of its consequences??

3. Multitasking
Multitasking, by traditional definition found in the dictionary is: “the performance of
multiple tasks at one time.” Rather than focusing all available attention on one task
and completing it before moving on, many tasks are accomplished at one time

5. Technological help while multitasking
Common statement:
“Role expansions have resulted in workers having to do more with less, and
multiple technologies have made that seem possible”
We often thank Intel but research indicates
some serious loss of business
Research says this:
Technologies often translate into multiple interruption. On average, workers are
Interrupted once every ten and a half minutes.
Once interrupted it takes a worker 23 minutes a day to get back to the task he/she was
working on.
A report from Basex quantified the cost of interruptions. It found that the average
knowledge worker loses 2.1 hours per day to “unimportant interruptions or
distractions.” At $21 per hour, the cost of interruptions to businesses would be $588

6. Gerald Weinberg proposed Rule of Thumb
(Gerald Weinberg American computer scientist, author and teacher of the psychology and
anthropology of computer software development)
Adding a single project to your workload is profoundly deli-bating by Weinberg
calculation. You lose 20% of your time. By the time you add a third project to
the mix, nearly half your time is wasted in task switching.
Recent study by Mckinsey says, participants who completed tasks in parallel took
up to 30 percent longer and made twice as many errors as those who completed
the same tasks in sequence 6

8. Multitasking & Brain
“ We are biologically incapable of processing attention-rich inputs
simultaneously” - Dr. John Medina (Director of the Brain Center for Applied
Learning Research at Seattle Pacific University)
French biomedical research says:
When it comes to task management, the prefrontal
Cortex of the human brain is key. The anterior part of this
brain region forms the goal or intention.
While working on two task brains split the labor: activity in
the left side of the prefrontal cortex corresponded to one
task while the right side took over the other task.
The research also says the brain can’t efficiently juggle more than two tasks because it
has only two hemispheres available for task management

9. Loosing Creativity
“If the firms don’t innovate they will
die” – Philip Kotler (The author of Marketing
Management among dozens of other textbooks and books)
It demands a lot of
creative thinking
Harvard Business School evaluated the
daily work patterns of more than 9,000
individuals working on projects that
required creativity and innovation. They
found that the likelihood of creative
thinking is higher when people focus on
one activity for a significant part of the
day and collaborate with just one other

11. Stress – more and more multitasking
“Multitasking, almost by its very nature, creates stress, and long-term stress, in turn,
is likely to make us less able to multitask”. - Dr. Jordan Grafman to Los Angeles Times
(Director of Traumatic Brain Injury Research at
Kessler Foundation)
One international survey of more than 1,300
managers found “one-third of managers suffer
from ill-health as a direct consequence of stress
associated with information overload.”
The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimated that stress cost American business about $
10,000 annually per employee – an overall economic impact of about $ 300 billion.
The National Institute for Occupational safety and health estimated that 40% of the
nations workforce is affected by stress, making it the No.1 reason for work disability.
Health at stake
Stress can result in depression and anxiety, and put people at risk for diabetes,
hyperthyroidism, lung cancer, heart disease, strokes, and other diseases.
