Multitasking, in a human context, is the practice of doing multiple things simultaneously, such as editing a document or responding to an email while attending a teleconference.
The concept of multitasking began in a computing context. Computer multitasking, similar to human multitasking, refers to performing multiple tasks at the same time. In a computer, multitasking refers to things like running more than one application simultaneously.
Current computers are designed for multitasking. For humans, however, multitasking has been decisively proven to be an ineffective way to work. Research going back to the 1980s has indicated repeatedly that performance suffers when people multitask.

Affect of multitasking
So, if doing the most important thing is the most important thing, why would you try to do anything else at the same time? It is a great question.
Multitasking is a lie.
It is a lie because nearly everyone accepts it as an effective thing to do. It's become so mainstream that people think it is something they should do, and do as often as possible. We not only hear talk about doing it but more than six million web pages offer answers on how to do it, and career websites list "multitasking" as a skill for employers to target and prospective hires to list as a strength.
Some have gone so far as to be proud of their supposed skill and have adopted them as a way of life. But it is a "way to lie," for the truth is multitasking is neither efficient nor effective. In the world of results, it will fail you every time.
"Multitasking is merely the opportunity to skrew up more than one thing" - Steve Uzzell.
The one thing
Try this out for more productivity in life. When you start doing only one thing at a time you start increasing your peak performance of the day. You cut down unimportant tasks at that time and start focusing on the one thing that matters the most, by which your future tasks will be easier or unimportant.
Think like this if you have to do only one thing you will gonna do that thing perfectly and with more focus by which your task will eventually get improved. Just like this you just need to do that one thing that has met priority.
Every time you get stuck multitasking just remember this will make it worse so try do to only one thing at a time.
Living in a dream.
Ever you catch yourself doing something and thinking another thing. That's the point where you start decreasing your productivity and multitasking. Now you're gonna think is thinking mean multitasking no not at all but if you think something different from doing the different thing that makes it multitasking.
So pay attention to your thoughts when you doing something you have to see and think only about that thing. Stop living in a dream and start doing things with your full potential.
Conclusion
After reading the whole blog you can understand this lie of multitasking which keeps you behind in life and stops you to achieve greater results in life. So make sure to stop doing this illogical thing. And focus only on one at a time. I can guarantee this will increase your productivity.
