On Season 1 Episode 5:
Multitasking - that is trying to simultaneously perform multiple work functions - is killing the quality of your work, it's actually lowering your productivity, and it may be causing  you to work up to 21 extra hours per month.

In this episode, we talk about the primary causes of multitasking, why our brains fundamentally can't perform multiple tasks simultaneously, we'll look at how environmental work factors cause employees to resort to multitasking, and ultimately what to do about it to improve your work, reduce errors and get you out of the office sooner.
