How multitasking could be stressing you out
Youâre furiously typing away on your term paper, and then the next thing you see in the corner of your screen is an email notification. You canât help but check it.Â
Minutes later, you get a text from your project partner asking about the progress on your presentation, and because you want to be a responsive collaborator, you immediately respond with an update.Â
This multitasking scenario might seem familiar to all of us. It seems harmless; after all, youâre not exactly watching cat videos on Youtube. But just how detrimental are these work-related interruptions?Â
Well for one thing, theyâre making you more stressed.Â
According to a study by Gloria Mark, professor of informatics at UC Irvine, people compensate for task-related and non-task-related interruptions by working faster, but in doing so, they create more stress.Â
Marks says that emails are an especially huge culprit in the added disruptions.
She says that people check on average 77 times a day in the work place (in an 8 hour workday, thatâs nearly once every 6 minutes). And in her soon-to-be published paper, she found that the longer people spent on their email, the higher their stress levels and the lower their self-assessed productivity (after controlling for baseline stress and job characteristics.)
Another interesting bit is that your multitasking could also be the reason why you canât stop distracting yourself with endless cat videos.Â

Sensory Processing Disorder, or SPD, is a condition that makes it hard for people to process sensory input, like sounds and tactile sensations. This happens because parts of the brain canât interpret sensory information correctly. Child neurologist Elysa Marco of the University of California, San Francisco describes a common scenario in a child with this disorder.
âUsually itâs an auditory input, a sound. So the top three are vacuum cleaners, blenders, automatic-flushing toilets. Kids between the age of six months and five years will, as soon as they can move themselves, run screaming from the room, hands over their ears when one these kinds of sounds gets into their world. I do think there probably is something about the low pitch hum that seems to hit a particular neural frequency, but we have no idea. The research in this field, really in some ways is just beginning.â
Marco was part of a groundbreaking study showing that kids with SPD have measurable brain differences that were distinct from other neurodevelopmental disorders.
