Title: Why We Can't Do 3 Things at Once
Post by: Kadri on April 18, 2010, 07:08:15 PM

" 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.

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!

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.
