The Fox News website has a nice summary of research into multitasking (task switching) and the impact it has on our ability to get things done. Always nice to have "official" outlets talk about this kind of thing. And I appreciate that they describe more of the nuance than simply "listening to music, doing homework, watching videos, and texting at the same time."
A local paper has a great quote that is takes four times longer to complete two tasks effectively than to do each one individually.
