Reverse Gear writes "What most of us have slowly come to realize have also of late become more and more of a scientific fact.

certain studies find that multitasking boosts the level of stress-related hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline and wears down our systems through biochemical friction, prematurely aging us. In the short term, the confusion, fatigue, and chaos merely hamper our ability to focus and analyze, but in the long term, they may cause it to atrophy.
In a long and interesting article Walter Kirn talks about the scientific results that support his claim and his own experiences with multitasking."
