Why We Can't Do 3 Things at Once

[Kadri]

" For those who find it tough to juggle more than a couple things at once, don't despair.
The brain is set up to manage two tasks, but not more, a new study suggests. "

You need to work where I do. Doing three things at once is common.

I can work on three D´s , isn´t that enough?

[Henry Blewer]

That works very well. I wish my three D's were as good as your three D's. Thankfully your three D's help my three D's look much better!

[Kadri]

Good that you are twosome ... I can barely understand you . I hope there won't come other guys here! LOL

Actually we can't do more than one thing well at one time.  The FAA study shows a person needs about twenty minutes into a task to get focus.
