Multi-tasking is bad...

According to the 1/16/06 issue of Time, multi-tasking is bad--we don't get things done as well, we are inefficient and the quality of our work is not as good. Okay, so I used to be a proud multi-tasker, but I must admit that I've become less so in my old age. For instance, my children do not approve of my doing school work with them in the room, so instead, I focus on them when they get home from school, and then get back school work when they go to bed. Everyone seems happier that way, and I do actually get more work done, as well.
