"No one really multitasks.
You just spend less time on any one thing."
"Dr. Edward Hallowell, a psychiatrist who's studied attention deficit disorder for more than a decade, has identified a related disorder he calls attention deficit trait, and he says it's reaching epidemic proportions in the corporate world. Unlike attention deficit disorder, or ADD, people aren't born with ADT. It's the result, he contends, of the modern workplace, where the constant and relentless chatter coming from our computers, phones and other high-tech devices is diluting our mental powers.
"Hallowell, formerly a Harvard Medical School faculty member, recently sat down with CNET News.com to talk about ADT, as well as when the right times to log off, hang up or take a time-out might be."
