Talk:Supertasking/@comment-24729606-20171122213042

I don't know about doing an infinite number of tasks at once but I am usually doing 6 to 12 things at once. Granted that is incredibly demanding (mentally, physically, and especially psychologically) but it also means when something or someone proves worth looking into that I can assimilate what I learn into my knowledge base (my inner library if you will) without disrupting the other tasks, thoughts, mental experiments, and so on I am simultaneously working on. However splitting ones attention in this way (or at all for that matter) does carry one not inconsiderable risk. If one splits ones attention too many ways and/ or for too great a span of time getting oneself to concentrate on any one thing above and to the exclusion of all else becomes more and more difficult.
