Dr. Neha Pandita, senior consultant neurologist at Fortis Hospital Noida, explains that multitasking is mentally exhausting because the brain switches attention between tasks rather than handling them simultaneously. This constant switching forces the brain to readjust and recall where it left off, which can drain mental energy. She advises giving full attention to one task at a time for better focus and efficiency.
