The Multitasking Myth: Why Doing More Makes You Do Less

from Through the Science Lens · host Son Hoang

In an age where switching between tabs feels like second nature, multitasking has become a badge of honor — proof of our productivity. But what if it’s all an illusion? In this episode, we uncover what neuroscience and cognitive psychology reveal about the hidden costs of divided attention. From the “switch cost” your brain quietly pays every time you toggle between tasks, to how chronic multitasking reshapes memory, focus, and even your body’s stress response — we’ll explore why doing more might actually mean achieving less. #MultitaskingMyth #Neuroscience #Focus #CognitiveScience #MindAtWork
