Physiologically, the human brain is not designed to process more than one thing at a time. Actually, to be more specific, the human brain is incapable of effectively handling more than one task. This switching from one task to another is actually harmful to the brain’s natural makeup. This switching from one task to another is actually harmful to the brain’s natural makeup.
It’s stressing you out
When you multitask on a regular basis, your brain releases a chemical called cortisol which, if chronic, can make you susceptible to heart disease, weight gain, high blood pressure and diabetes. Further, mental health issues can arise from multitasking as well. These unintended consequences can result in self-esteem issues and even depression.
Control your environment.
Build fences around potential distractions before they occur, such as noise and pop-ups. Rather than blame technology, take control of your environment. Before a conference call, put a quiet post-it note outside your door or cubicle saying you’re in a meeting. Mute all auditory pings, and turn off visual alerts and social media messaging
Your memory may suffer
Short-term memory is not only limited but vulnerable to interference so it should be protected from all possible distractions to become permanent. Not to mention switching attention between several high-cognitive tasks. We should accept the fact that working with information without the possibility to recall it from your memory in the future has no sense.
