I was wondering, which one do you think is more efficient or valuable?
Do you think multitasking makes work more efficient and is it a skill that recruiters search for while looking for candidates?
I started to hear a lot of discussions about this topic, and I personally started to believe that multitasking is not efficient in most cases but I'm really wondering your point of view. Please share your thoughts below

It's depends on the task, but at a task like developing an app I don't think multitasking can be efficient. Also I think we humans are much more eligible for working on one task at a time
Focusing on a single task at a time is the only thing that works for me.

I am stricly unable to be mono-tasking.
Which can be hard to understand for coworkers I suppose. I'm a bit weary of appearing unfocused, but this is my own way of functioning and after some time, the team usually realizes it does not impair my productivity - on the contrary! It's just a unusual style I suppose :-)

I like to have one primary task where majority of my focus goes into- and secondary task to work on when I'm in a bit of a brain fog!

I think not many people would prefer this option but if it’s for me then I’ll surely consider myself a multi-tasker. There are chances of ending up spending a lot of time focusing on a single task so I go for keeping my schedule intact with 3-4 tasks.

I believe deep work on one task is counterintuitively more efficient than multitasking. While you are only working on one task, your focused effort towards it means you are actually getting much more done.

Of course this is dependent on the task, but I like to multi-task on setting up the foundations of each task first. Then once I feel like those tasks are in a good enough space, I'll move into working on each task at a time!

Hi Everyone hope you are fine.
I am Carrie Stowe and working as blogger. I am doing Affiliate marketing and social media marketing. So at a time, I have many tasks when I do one by one then my tasks sometime complete and when I have not schedule tasks then I waste my all time. Now I am working on this site.
