It was interesting to read about multi-tasking and the research conducted into it. The suggestion that people are half-heartedly doing multiple tasks in sequence rather than the same time resonated with me.
I have always found myself listening to music or being the internet as I hurried to finish assignments and homework at the same time. There is certainly a validity to the suggestion that I am only half-heartedly completing tasks in random sequence without dividing my full attention to the task.
