There are only advantages; I don’t know any disadvantages to multitasking.

@ixord well, it depends on every individual, as for me I rather be focus on one task and deliver a good one, rather that hopping myself on every task, done miserably.

@ixord Sometimes, it hurts me more than helps as I am switching contexts too much, and feel like I am not making progress. But most of the time it works out well!

People can't actually multitask well. You can't actually work on 2 things at once. Your mind will focus on one and then it has to refocus on the other thing you're "multitasking" on. You're better off focusing on one task at a time, completing it and then moving onto the next thing.

You lose some focus when you switch between tasks. Your mind can not fully move on and block out thoughts/distractions from the previous task. Basically you leave attention residue on each time you switch between tasks

For me, while it may seem like Multitasking is a valuable skill, the reality is that it may be doing more harm than good. Anw, it varies based on each person.
