Honestly, in the beginning, it was to just try to help my own brain; my grandfather had dementia, and that worried me. I’ll also explore what happens to our brain when we express gratitude, swipe on a dating app (over and over again) and eat certain (brain) foods. Our executive function can work really well and can help keep us on track. “There are peaks and valleys of focus throughout the day, and this corresponds with the ebb and flow of our attentional resources,” Mark explained. Also, she said, “if you have some really important task to do, take a really good break before you begin it.

But starting in your fifties, Dr. Mendez said, the area of the brain in charge of memory retrieval is less efficient. So if you’re struggling to remember “that movie starring that guy,” the memory is often there, Dr. Mendez said — it just takes longer to surface. We are inundated with so much information each day, said Dr. Davis, and the brain has to manage memories. “Forgetting is a normal part of one’s brain function,” he said. It’s not good for your brain health in general, but as we get older, our capacity to multitask “typically diminishes,” he said.

For him, the fact’s randomness, combined with her lighthearted answers to other prompts, spelled jackpot.

Documented marijuana-related traffic accidents that required treatment in an emergency room rose 475% between 2010 and 2021, the study found. Just after Canadian legalization in 2018, when marijuana stores and products were limited, researchers found a 94% increase in emergency room visits, Myran said. Car crashes involving weed were serious. Another issue is the rising potency of cannabis, Myran said. Canada’s lower-risk cannabis guidelines recommend not driving for at least 6 hours after using cannabis and avoiding cannabis and alcohol together.

Goldman Sachs' summer internship program is harder to get into than Harvard. This summer Goldman hosted 2,970 interns, about 500 of whom were placed in the investment bank, according to stats provided by Goldman. Some rising juniors are also part of the internship classes, however, including Stephenson, who applied for her first Goldman internship during her freshman year of college. Last summer, Stephenson took the subway to work, which had its share of problems. According to Friedland, there's no "busy work" or "shadowing" and the senior bankers rely on the interns to do real work.

Stolzoff, now 32, left his designer job in 2022 to finish writing his book and explore other sides of himself that had been crowded out by his day job. One of the necessities is to take some time away from that.”If you can’t work for yourself, another strategy is working a “good enough job,” which rejects the conventional wisdom that we should be seeking our dream job, Stolzoff said. “Work is certainly one container with one set of metrics for success and one definition of what ‘good’ looks like,” Stolzoff said.

The rest of us just end up doing everything worse. Yet the pressure to multitask can still often seem like something imposed on us from outside.

☆ Ivy League professor of ultra-popular 'monk class': These 3 changes can make you more resilient than most

To pass Justin McDaniel's "monk class," University of Pennsylvania students must ditch their phones — and voices — for 30 days. The class's stringent rules, modeled after actual monk practices, aren't meant to socially isolate the students. "We exercise to build muscle and endurance, but we don't practice emotions," McDaniel, a humanities professor who practiced as a monk for nearly a year at age 21, tells CNBC Make It. The monk class is supposed to be like "shock therapy," a crash course to jolt students into mindfulness: Spending a month with fewer distractions helps students become more aware of their physical surroundings and emotions, he says. In the class, McDaniel teaches that doing one thing at a time is the best way to stay present.

☆ Harvard-trained expert shares her No. 1 strategy for getting people to trust you: 'That's what I would do'

If you want to be successful, fostering trust with others is a great way to start. But leading by example isn't the best way to do so, says a Harvard-trained leadership advisor. Building that type of deeply ingrained connection comes from a single strategy, Mumby says: active listening. Chances are, you're a mono-tasker — if you think you're doing two things at once, you're probably task-switching or completing tasks in rapid succession, neuropsychologist Cynthia Kubu told the Cleveland Clinic's health blog in 2021. For it to really be effective, you need to make it a regular practice, she says: One uninterrupted conversation won't garner someone's trust overnight.

They also say stop jumping around from task to ask and be weary of collaborating with others. Specifically, Maria Ibanez and a colleague have found that inspections that occur later in the day result in fewer violations. Each subsequent hour an inspector conducts inspections during the day results in 3.7% fewer citations per inspection that day, likely due to fatigue. For instance, after an inspection that yielded a particularly high number of violations, inspectors were likelier to spot extra violations at the next joint, too. A study from two Kellogg School professors — Nicola Persico and Rob Bray — tested this idea by altering the way Italian appellate labor court judges schedule court hearings.

The other person doesn’t have to be doing the same thing as you, unless the activity you need body doubling for — such as exercising — requires that assistance. How transparent you are about why you need a body double is up to you, as is whether you have more than one body double. There are also body doubling or coworking platforms or apps such as Flown, Focusmate or Flow Club.
