in papers such as these the conclusion is that multi-tasking lowers mental health (lowers working memory & ability to filter out impressions while increasing distractability & stress.)

the opposite is monasticism… i’m reminded of putting in a CD into a videogame console… gotta remove it to play another game or to watch a movie… no tab-switching there.

is there a strict line between multi-tasking and monasticism?
