Juggling several tasks at once feels efficient, but researchers have found that each switch quietly costs time and accuracy — via hidden mental stages of shifting goals and reloading rules that compound

Here’s how many of my mornings go. I sit down to write, open the research tab, and start reading for the angle I need. The angle does not come. So I check Slack, just for a second. Then a message pulls me into a thread, and the thread reminds me of a video, and the ... Read more Read more
