Multi-tasking vs. Multi-switching

Multi-taskingAccording to Dr. Gail Davies, she said there is no real multi-tasking meaning doing more than one task simultaneously with 100% attention allocated to each of them.  She said it is actually Multi-switching, i.e., switching between different tasks quickly with the exception of some daily habits such as eating and talking as well as walking and talking.  She also suggested that when doing multiple tasks in the same period of time is a necessity, we should be aware and mindful of the task-switching that is going on instead of thinking that it is automatic.
