Technology is making multi-tasking easier and easier, but is there a price? How does multitasking affect learning? Is it overloading our brains or does it help develop skills necessary for effective learning?

Happy New Year!
Dr. Nellie Deutsch's insight:
Time off to relax and develop quality of mind and heart.
Dr. Nellie Deutsch's curator insight,
December 22, 2012 8:12 AM
We spend hours doing things for others, whether at home and at the office or school. Isn't it time we found time to devote to ourselves? Take some time off and listen to music, walk for no reason in the park, or do things that were unrelated to work or family.
I have been practicing mindful living and relaxation for a number of years, so I can improve the quality of my mind and heart. That's all I needed, so that I can recharge and manage everything else in my life. One way of taking time off from my duties and turning to myself is through learning and music.
Learning without stress and having fun is a great way to start the new year. Jason R. Levine is going to give live sessions with recordings, so we can listen to music and relax anywhere and at any time with the recordings. Join the fun starting January 13, 2013

Let's do things differently for a change...
John Dewey tried to defend the Alexander technique as scientific and valuable to know. In an introduction to a book written by the founder of the technique, Dewey summarizes one of Alexander's premises that one cannot judge whether things will work or not if "one uses the very conditions that need re-education as one's standard of judgement" (see The Use of the Self by F. M. Alexander, 1932,1985). We need to change our strategies unless we want to to get the same results. So, read this with an open mind and try something different, now: http://www.wiziq.com/blog/make-money-online-now/

Twitter Hacker on the Loose!
FYI, there's a hacker with a great spam if you fall for it, which I did. It comes from your twitter contacts and it says someone is saying bad things about you. A link follows the message. If you click on the link, your twitter account is hacked and it begins to send the spam. I changed my password so I'm out of the loop, but the game is still on so don't click on the link if you get the message from someone else. So, if you are curious and click on the link, people will be saying bad things about you.
Let's make our online presence a good one by warning each other so we do not fall into the traps that are being developed as I write this. Let your friends know about this hacker so that we can have a safe online exchange.

Companies that demand multitasking may be damaging productivity. Multitaskers think they are much more successful at completing tasks than they actually are, experts say.

Don't believe the multitasking hype, scientists say. New research shows that we humans aren't as good as we think we are at doing several things at once — but it also found a skill that gives us an evolutionary edge.
