Nowadays, if you can multi-task, it means you're more productive. Your employer will like you, and they can dump more work on you blah blah blah. You multi-task at work and get the jobs done, great. Your boss is happy and so is your pocket. However, I think multi-tasking is a bad habit to some extent because the more you multi-task, the more it becomes a habit, and you eventually will lose the ability to concentrate and focus. You will end up multi-tasking in your personal life and end up can't get anything done then we complain to people why we can't do/get this and that. A habit can be good and very evil. To get what we desire, concentration is vital. What do you think in your opinion?

Big-time multi-tasking is what has so many, many people in psychiatrist's offices. It means stressed-out, burned-out, and even physical ailments. Be careful not to overdo.

Multi-tasking is good.. But as you said earlier, it is bad, when your are forcing yourself into it. An employer should not be abusive, if a task is given and done efficiently, he should be satisfied. Because if he is forcing his employee to do multi-tasking, his employee may do it right for now but eventually it will not last and ended to be a haggard person. Love multi-tasking, but never be mastered by it.

If you think multitasking doesn't require concentration,think again.In addition to what you say and most of it being correct,the other aspects of multi tasking are,(a)It's not a habit forming thing and you can focus on any single task whenever you want,(2)There are certain jobs where multitasking is essential,like a a pilot,who has to keep a watch on several dials,gauges,meters and other data and still keep his focus on flying the plane.(3)It inculcates greater mind and attention control and thus broadens our capabilities.

multi-tasking is a good habit and we can keep it up but don't let that force the employees or boss to take advantage of you. Concentration is obviously vital.

True multi-tasking means you are able to concentrate on more than one thing at a time. It means being able to switch your focus very easily from one thing to another and still being able to do it efficiently and well. Multi-tasking does not mean you have attention deficit disorder.

Speeding, road rage, swerving around the slowasses, riding too close. But I never had a wreck until last summer when some guy hit a car behind me and created a 4-car pile up with me in the front of the line.

Good for any employer.
Good for your self esteem.
Frustrating when you get older and can't do it so well anymore.
Frustrating to friends and family when you try to do things while they talk to you, and you appear to be not paying attention to them.
