People multi-task during remote and online meetings. We all do this.
But wait. Multi-tasking during a meeting is the same as “checking out.” You are not 100% present, which is the same as not participating fully. So why attend the meeting at all? There are plenty of studies that show how multitasking doesn’t work.
Multitasking can affect our ability to learn, because in order to learn, we need to be able to focus.
“The research says that more we multitask, the less we actually accomplish, because we slowly lose our ability to focus enough to learn,” Dr. Kubu says. “If we’re constantly attempting to multitask, we don’t practice tuning out the rest of the word to engage in deeper processing and learning.”
