"Many people feel they must multi-task because everybody else is multitasking, but this is partly because they are all interrupting each other so much"

- Marilyn vos Savant

About this Quote

This quote by Marilyn vos Savant recommends that lots of people feel the requirement to multitask because they are surrounded by others who are also multitasking. However, this is likely due to the truth that they are all continuously interrupting each other. This could be interpreted as a commentary on the modern world, where individuals are so hectic and overwhelmed that they feel the requirement to multitask in order to keep up. It could also be viewed as a criticism of the way people interact with each other, as the constant disruptions could be viewed as a sign of disrespect or absence of factor to consider. Eventually, this quote recommends that multitasking is not always a productive or advantageous method of working, and that it is typically brought on by an absence of communication and regard between individuals.
