In this episode of MIND BLOSSOM I explain the myth of multitasking and its costs.                                                                                                                      I used multiple sources for this episode: 'Digital Lives - The Science Behind Multitasking' YouTube video by WBUR.org, 'The Myth of Multitasking Test' YouTube video by <br />Dave Crenshaw, and 'Multitasking: Switching costs' article by American Psychological Association.
