blog 1: "How to do one thing at time"

       The article "How to do One Thing at a Time" states that multitasking is a bad habit because when we do it, we tend todo things wrong or less productive than when we do one thing at a time in other words, the article explains that when we multitask , it limits our ability to think faster and effiently.
        first of all, the article refers to " a experiment where a group of student where asked to spend 30 minutes simultaneously compiling a music playlist, chatting and writing a short essay. The group who focus on each test individually for 10 minutes did better than their multitasking peers." It demostrate that when people focus on one thing at a time when do much more better because when our brain is performing in sequence we worse than we expected. For instance, when i'm at my job, i use to check paper work for trucks to pick up merchandise. So every time i do two or three papers at the same time i wind up making a mistake either the merchandise was wrong or i misscaount the product. There for doing many things at the same time isn't helpful like i said before because our brains don't work properly as it should.
