The Myth of Multitasking

The Myth of Multitasking: "Technology has so many advantages, but some devices that were designed to make us more productive, are now creating a new set of productivity problems. When laptops, personal digital assistants (PDAs) and cell phones are close by, attendees at workplace meetings struggle to keep their focus on the speaker. It’s just too compelling and easy to check email, text messages and surf the web instead. Of course these workers think that they are multitasking. But, when it comes to the brain ability to pay attention, the brain focuses on concepts sequentially and not on two things at once. In fact, the brain must disengage from one activity in order to engage in another. And it takes several tenths of a second for the brain to make this switch. As John Medina, author of “Brain Rules” says: “To put it bluntly, research shows that we can’t multitask. We are biologically incapable of processing attention-rich inputs simultaneously.” ( http://brainrules.blogspot.com/2008/03/brain-cannot-multitask_16.html)"

5 Ways to Break Through the Clutter and Land Your Dream Job

5 Ways to Break Through the Clutter and Land Your Dream Job: "In the reputation economy, every move you make can build or erode your personal brand. By making the right branding decisions, you can become more employable, charge more for your services, and have leverage over your career. In this current workplace climate, there is no job security, no guarantee that a degree will turn into a job, and no single path to the top. 84% of workers want to quit their jobs and find new opportunities this year. You need to become the CEO of your own company, You Inc. In a March New York Times article, Paul Krugman notes that "It's no longer true that having a college degree guarantees that you'll get a good job, and it's becoming less true with each passing decade." Aside from the competition for jobs, the amount of noise online is increasing exponentially. For example, there are now 140 million tweets per day and Twitter is growing at 460 thousand accounts per day. Simple put: traditional career strategies are becoming ineffective and need to evolve with the times."
