They explain that our brains are limited in their ability to pay attention. We don't really multitask but rather switch rapidly between tasks. Distractions and interruptions, often technology-related - referred to by the authors as interference - collide with our goal-setting abilities.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 153.73 Ga Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 153.73 Ga Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 153.73 Ga Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 153.73 Ga Checked In Add Copy to MyList
