Some research indicates the human brain is not capable of true multitasking, that rapid task-switching is limited, and that the most effective task-switchers are those performing a simple task and a second, more complex task, preferably one that requires different parts of the brain.
The military offers specific high-pressure cases of multitasking/rapid task switching. I'm curious about the thoughts of the RP community.
Do you rapid task-switch?
During your normal life?
Only during moments of extreme pressure?
Do you notice Degraded capability in these moments?
Can you do true multi-tasking (multiple things at once without reduction in performance)

I do "rapid task switch," Capt Richard I P.. I think we all do. When I do it, I notice a degradation in my performance, my ability to concentrate on the task at hand (because it's switching so often and so quickly).
I think this underscores the value and importance of setting priorities and sticking with them. There's a good chart on setting priorities in "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People." I'll see if I can find it online.
