The Good News: Multitasking Helps You Do More. The Bad News ...

Greg's picture

A survey by Yahoo! and OMD finds that multi-tasking extends "... the typical day's activities beyond 24 hours. In the U.S., respondents listed, on average, a total of more than 43 hours of daily activities, including time spent sleeping, working, commuting, as well as technology/media-based activities such as emailing, using an MP3 player, text messaging, and watching TV."

Respondents said they spent 7.6 hours / day working or commuting, 6.0 hours with family and friends, and a total of 9.6 hours in "technology / media activities" such as watching TV or using instant messaging. That's 23.2 hours before getting to sleeping, eating, or exercising, so there's room for a lot of overlap in those categories.

Feeling like you don't have a spare moment? Now you know why.
