Heavy multitaskers are worse at switching tasks

Stanford researchers tested people who constantly juggle media streams, expecting them to be switching champions. The opposite: heavy multitaskers were worse at filtering distractions and worse at switching tasks than people who do one thing at a time. Depth beats juggling, and this is the study behind that.

This is a short takeaway in our own words, not a reproduction of the study. For the method, the sample and the caveats, read the original. Mind lives inside the Booking Minds app under the brain icon, where you can save and share each piece.
