Unitasker

I found Unitasker by A.J. Jacobs overall an interesting article. He sets out on a month long project to answer the question of can man not multitask and just focus on one topic at a time. He brings up stories of his past in which he tries to cram as many activities as he can into his daily life. His friend tells him about his ability to read and walk from the Subway home. Also Jacobs has a much scarier situation in which he was listening to a book on a cd while driving and nearly killed himself and his wife. He starts his month and is only allowed to do one thing at a time. This like the other articles made me think. Since now a days most people are trying to accomplish as much as they can in a single day and work at maximum efficiency. Jacobs finds difficulty in this in the first week. His voice in the article is very strong. He writes about how he work for four minutes and find a new distraction. I feel like I would be the same way. But he pushes on and is inspired by a scientist who watched a life form reproduce from 5:30 am to 11 pm every day for three weeks and men who would copy the bible by writing it out. He takes up yoga to help his mind have a single focus. He even finds a Wii video game in which you are to sit still and stare for as long as you can. Though his month he finds a new ability in not playing with his phone and actually working nine to five every day. He seems to conquered unitasking but has a few slip ups towards the end.
