Such a fascinating insight, Kate! ?? It's interesting how many still value multitasking despite its drawbacks. What do you think could replace this myth in job descriptions to reflect real productivity skills?
Agree! Organized, critical thinking, prioritization…these are skills.

I find it interesting that even knowing multitasking isn't effective, many still chase that ideal. Focusing on one task can really boost quality.
