Man Clutter

It’s a myth that multi-tasking is the answer to getting more done in the same number of hours. And it’s actually creating habits that cause you to mismanage time.

Although, some people can juggle a phone call and typing a report at the same time, don’t think that if you do three things at once, you’re being more productive.
