We're all bad at multitasking

Despite stereotypes that women are more proficient at it than men, researchers at the University of Bergen in Norway have found that both genders are bad multitaskers. The researchers had groups of adult men and women attempt serial multitasking, the most common type, where we hop from one thing to the next and back again. Both genders struggled equally. In general, multitasking leads to cognitive fatigue, making us worse at whatever we’re doing and slowing us down.
