New here? to stay up to date with new Like Super Achievers Club on Facebook  to stay up to date with new posts and take part in our fun, games, competitions and giveaways.

Hello everybody to today’s post. This post is uniquely special as it offers something that might shock you, really I mean it.

As we aspire to become (Goal Super Achievers) we try to make things to increase our productivity, so we make 2 things at a time which we call multitask, hoping that this will help us make the best out of our time, but the real truth about the so-called “Multitasking” may really shock you, why? 

Before I go in more details trying to explain why multitasking is bad ,let us go watch this awesome video for Eileen, it will sum up everything about multitasking why you need to stop it in a very exciting and funny way. Watch it before you continue to this article



Now that you have watched it,( I knew you would laugh out loud,didn’t you) you have a bit of conflict.We have been told many times before from our bosses ,your trainers and our HR consultant that multitasking is good ,yet every desired and dream job require that you have the ability to multitask.

So what is the truth ,is it a good skill or does it really hurt to multitask?
Answer this simple quiz for now to know

Pop quiz:
Which of the following activities temporarily reduces your IQ by 10 points?
A. Smoking marijuana
B. E-mailing while talking on the phone
C. Losing a night's sleep
D. Watching two hours of "Saved by the Bell" reruns
According to a study by the Institute of Psychiatry at the University of London, the correct answer is B.

Researchers studied 1,100 workers at a British company and found that multitasking with electronic media caused a greater decrease in IQ than smoking pot or losing a night's sleep. (As far as I know, no one has yet studied the effects on IQs of bad sit-com watching).

"To put it bluntly, research shows that we can't multitask. We are biologically incapable," says John Medina, author of the book "BrainRules."

Can the human brain multitask?

Here is another study that says “Multitasking really hurt your brain
The study suggests that people who try to manage two things (multiple stuff) at a time lose productivity and their ability to learn may deceases.

"We have to be aware that there is a cost to the way that our society is changing," Russell Poldrack, a psychology professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, recently told National Public Radio. "Humans are not built to work this way."

For more information, visit MSN or watch the video below to hear Medina talk about his New YorkTimes bestseller, "Brain Rules." 


Also I have found another important proof that we are not really able to multitask.it really hurt and let us loose our focus, and ultimately decrease productivity.

Think you can multitask ? Dave Crenshaw challenges you that you can’t do without these bad signs


He is the author of “The Myth of Multitasking” in which he reveals how the mind cant multitask, also how it is a big lie that we can multitask, it wastes our time and most importantly is damage out relationship:
Watch this video to see how bad multitasking may affect our relationship with people whom we love and supposed to appreciate


So by now I think you have the big picture, may be with more details, multitasking is not as good as we used to think, as we used to be told by others.
For me I decided not to speak to my mother while working or even looking at my laptop, this really hurt and I am sure is made her disappointed with me.
While you are doing it in a way to increase productivity it deceases our productivity in fact. How shocking is this J

So, have you experienced this at work, family or home before? What is your ideal way of increasing productivity (away from multitasking for sure)? Speak your mind. Let us know what you think about this post.

I really enjoyed making ups this post for you, collecting data and videos. Although I have another points that I didn’t make I will make it for another post.

I know I have just aroused the problem without speaking about potential solutions. I just don’t want this post go longer so you don’t get bored. Keep an eye for coming posts and a complementary for this one.

For now why don’t you go and share this with your friends, comment on this article if you want on out fb page here. or tweet about it here.
Thank you and I see you on the next post J
