A recent article in The New Atlantis called "The Myth of Multitasking" offers some relief to those of us who are tired of trying to do two things at once. Now, we have evidence it's not good for us to try to split our attention. I think I'm going to put the opening quote by Lord Chesterfield near my computer: "There is time enough for everything in the course of the day, if you do but one thing at once, but there is not time enough in the year, if you will do two things at a time."
