Nicholas Carr:

You can improve your agility at mul­ti­task­ing, but you will never be able to mul­ti­task and engage in deep thought at the same time.

Carr hits on a great point in his post about Mul­ti­task­ing: muli­task­ing is good most of the time, just not when you really need to think. I have been pretty crit­i­cal of late about mul­ti­task­ing, how­ever I think it is impor­tant to remem­ber that I am not against lis­ten­ing to the radio while dri­ving. I am against mul­ti­task­ing while doing work that actu­ally requires deep and cre­ative thought.
