(Direct quote): “You need to self-regulate. Understanding how the brain multitasks and why we find it so appealing will help you gauge the hazard of pulling out your phone.”

I . THESIS (paraphrased): Daniel T. Willingham, in his essay “The High Price of Multitasking” from The New York Times, persuades readers to self-regulate while multitasking (1.) by explaining how the brain does it and (2.) why it is so enticing to help readers consider when multitasking (3) may be appropriate.

B. Second, Willingham states that multitaskers are enticed by potential advantages of efficiency and battles against boredom.
