A sample task set -- receptionist duties: check people in, answer phones, do data entry, type letters, make appointments. In this case in poorly run offices overload is likely. A well run office would never allow a receptionist to lose composure as the loss of equanimity is a very bad sign.<br /><br />I don't see professionals doing much multi-tasking besides taking priority calls during an appointment.<br /><br />Is having a case load multitasking? Not really.<br /><br />Is working on multiple projects sequentially multitasking. Not really.<br /><br />I conclude that in any job if one is actually told to multitask that job should be left ASAP. It is not a well run business. Ion top of the impossibility of being even remotely successful, it would be highly likely that the supervisor or manager would be abusive.<br /><br />I do see "workers" stare at their cell phones claiming they are multitasking.
