It just doesn't work. Switching between tasks is more "resource" consuming that just finishing the first and then do the next. Even women can't really do it. It takes an awful long time to get focused on the other task you switch to (it can take up to 45 minutes). My advice based on all the reading I did: DON'T MULTITASK! (or it must be something very trivial, like the kind of multitasking you do while driving your car).
