Many of us spend our workdays responding to a never-ending stream of emails and texts. We feel stressed out and perpetually behind on our to-do list. But what if there was a better way to work?

And we'll visit a lab that's studying whether brain stimulation can improve our ability to handle multitasking and interruptions.
