Experts Warn: Multitasking Harms Mental Health, Single-Tasking and Mindfulness Recommended
Researchers Dr. M.Sc. Matthias Pillny and Johannes Fendel, both experts in mindfulness practices, warn of the dangers of multitasking. While mindfulness brings numerous benefits, multitasking can negatively impact both mental health and cognitive function.
Dr. Matthias Pillny, focusing on mindfulness practices in psychological disorders, and Johannes Fendel, studying its stress-reducing effects, agree that multitasking can be detrimental. It alters brain structure and promotes superficial, inefficient thinking.
Mindfulness practices, on the other hand, are beneficial. They help manage conditions like depression, anxiety, and burnout. By focusing on the present, they prevent stress-related illnesses and boost overall well-being.
Pillny and Fendel urge individuals to prioritise single-tasking. Instead of multitasking, which doesn't enhance performance, they recommend mindfulness practices to improve mental health and productivity.
