For those who find it tough to juggle more than a couple things at once, don't despair. The brain is set up to manage two tasks, but not more, a new study suggests.


This is bad news for those who worked so long and hard to bring the politically-correct term "multitasker" into the venacular to describe a certain type of odd behavior characteristics. After all the hard work, it will be difficult to once again live with the more accurate: scatterbrained.

I would redouble but I'm already booked up planning my play and wondering what you have for your double.

Yes, but keep in mind that taking on several simultaneous tasks and doing each badly does not equate to multitasking.
