Multitaskingul ne păcălește că suntem mai productivi. Ce efect poate avea asupra creierului și organismului

Multitasking may seem efficient, but it can increase stress hormones and accelerate aging processes. Neurophysiologist Gerd Wirtz warns that constantly switching tasks drains cognitive resources and leads to mental fatigue. Research links multitasking to higher cortisol production, which is associated with chronic stress and inflammation. This stress can shorten telomeres, impacting cellular aging. The recommended approach is 'mono-tasking', focusing on one task at a time. Suggestions include organizing work into single-task intervals, minimizing distractions, and taking breaks without digital interruptions. The key message is to reduce simultaneous activities for better cognitive performance and stress management.
