The following quote  caught my attention as I was reading a HBR post, titled “Warning: Your Attention is Under Siege“, by Tony Schwartz.

“What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention, and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it.”

Herbert Simon

Think about it next time you engage in or encourage others to engage in multitasking!
