The ability to multi-task is a fallacy. Humans think about and execute tasks sequentially and independently. Therefore, texting, internet surfing and phone calls all interupt "flow" and worse yet momentum is lost. Good call Jason – all ahead flowwwww.

Employees and students all have these multitasking issues that are becoming a major fail. It seems the instant response to all social media is so important. We need to go back to responding at our lunch breaks and after work. The more distractions the less productive. You are correct in stating "flow" as being essential in performance. Without flow there is no "out of the box" thinking or solid in depth research. Work is about productivity not social media.
