  1. So I got one fact of this video: "being online is unproductive"?! I,m so confused because I have just realized I must be unproductive. Shocked!

  2. I'm agree with Tim Jenkins in some ways.It's true that there are moments that are important to focus on one thing. But I really don't understand when he says that an online organization is an unproductive organization.

  3. It´s very difficult to pay attention to many things at once and do them well!!!

  4. I think that multitasking could be productive, depending on the things you must do, it depends on the concentration you need for each activity.

  5. From my point of view, multitasking can be useful when we want to do different things which don´t need our full attention. But when we have to do something relevant, multitasking is not a good idea. Can you imagine a surgeon practising multitasking during an operation?

  6. In my opinion, this video is a little exaggerated, I believe that we can do some things at the same time but not that much. Besides, I think nowadays we need to do multitasking because we life really fast.

  7. In my opinion we usually do multitasking. At my job we were doing it for months. We were doing the lessons planning ( objectives, contents,...) a course about new technologies, another course about the hools of Google and the first evaluation for a month. Then I think that it´s possible but it isn´t healthy.

  8. I don´t agree with Tim Jenkins. Multitasking can be unproductive but being online is not unproductive at all. I´m sorry but I think It´s absurd to say that. Internet make easier a lot of things and to be online it´s fantastic for any company or organization because is the best (and the fast) way to connect with the people.
