As the article mentions, people don't multitask. It's all fast context switching. Up to seven times per second or so. Some are better at it, others are not. One gets one thing done fastest in most detail if one focuses and doesn't switch context, but the brain makes one believe one would be super efficient if one spends time switching context between different things.
