In today's society, multitasking is very popular, but it can reduce productivity. When multiple tasks are done simultaneously, there is a lack of cognitive focus. Distraction is created between multiple tasks, which reduces work efficiency.
Fragmentation occurs between different tasks, which makes it impossible to give adequate concentration to each task. These impediments ultimately have a detrimental effect, and subsequent work is not completed properly.
However, monotasking or doing work one by one increases our focus and synergy. It creates focus on work and optimizes the use of time.
Therefore, instead of multitasking with an exorbitant amount of workload, deliberate and individual work is more productive.
