The Myth of Multi-TaskingPaying AttentionWhen we talk about multitasking, we are really talking about

attention: the art of paying attention, the ability to shift our attention, and, more broadly, to exercise judgment about what objects are worthy of our attention.

People who have achieved great things often credit for their success a finely honed skill for paying attention. When asked about his particular genius, Isaac Newton responded that if he had made any discoveries, it was “owing more to patient attention than to any other talent.”

“Once Upon a Time…” A Cautionary Tale

Gibbs, G. (1994). Learning in teams: A student guide. Oxford Center for Staff Development: Oxford Brookes University.

*A team of students had four members, named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.

*There was an important job to be done.

1. Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. 2. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. 3. Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody’s job. 4. Everybody thought Anybody could do it but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it.

5. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.
