Multi-tasking revisited

I wrote a story about productivity a while ago. I want to now elaborate on some of it’s ideas. We live in a world that is dramatically different from the one our ancestors lived in. The new circumstances gave birth to new ideas about optimal use of one’s mind. The idea of multi-tasking has been very popular for a long time. However a lot of pushback has surfaced recently. This story will take a look at how different situations and motivations affect the utility of multi-tasking.
