Notable and Quotable

While multitasking may save you time, experts say it can be draining on your brain's resources. Laura Vanderberg, assistant director of the Time Management Consulting program at Tufts' Academic Resource Center, says that working memory, the process of taking in and processing new information, is much more limited than long-term memory, which is nearly infinite.

“It's 'mental counter space' and there's only so much of it. If you can't do it in your sleep, it is taking up cognitive energy.”
