Well Workplaces Ep085 - Timeout with Tom | What happens to your brain when you multitask with Dr Kristy Goodwin
Welcome to the Timeout with Tom, where we explore how to find balance in a world filled with screens, pings, and notifications. In today's episode, we discuss the fine balance between being online, being offline, and being present inside our brains. Our guest is Dr. Kristy Goodwin, a digital wellbeing expert and author of the book "Dear Digital: We Need to Talk."
Topic Discussion: Tom and Kristy dive into the topic of multitasking and the question of whether it is truly possible. Kristy shares her insights and the latest scientific research on the effects of multitasking on the brain. She explains how our brains are not designed for multitasking and what happens when we try to juggle multiple tasks at once.
Kristy also provides practical tips on how we can minimise multitasking in our daily lives and improve our productivity and focus. She emphasises the importance of taking breaks and setting boundaries to ensure a healthy relationship with technology.
Dr Kristy Goodwin highlights the importance of being aware of our digital habits and finding a balance between being online and offline. She encourages listeners to take small steps towards creating healthier digital habits and invites them to read her book, "Dear Digital: We Need to Talk."
Thank you for tuning in to Timeout with Tom.
