Multitasking Still Doesn’t Work

I’ve found myself in a frantic state of chaos recently.

Agentic AI provides the illusion of multitasking, and I fell into its trap. “I can do 8 things at once!”

No, I can’t. Oh, but I tried. No, I can’t.

Leading an agentic AI workforce requires the same approach as leading a human workforce, and the first thing to remember is that multitasking is impossible. You’re task switching, not multitasking, so approach your AI workforce accordingly.

Each needs your full attention while you’re interacting with it.
Allow yourself the task switching time.
Attend to them in priority order (priority might be from their side, not just yours).
Ask clarifying questions.

Multitasking still doesn’t work, even with Agentic AI.
