Template:Multitasking
It is actually true that men can't multitask, but neither can women. The overwhelming evidence suggests that anyone who thinks they can multitask is deluding themselves and that people who try suffer a net loss in productivity. [1][2] [3] [4] [5] Attempts to multitask may even increase stress levels and ultimately impact health in a negative way.[6] Humans are capable of continuous partial attention which allows then to perform multiple activities at once but in general these must be simple activities and there is still a net loss of productivity.
