When it comes to multitasking there are real heath concerns however with GNU/Linux these are nothing to be concerned about. GNU/Linux can be sat up to be fully automated to where it will do your work for you based on schedules, events, ect. So if you rely on this distracted living is no longer a threat. You can focus on one thing to a time.

I've often heard that in New York your expected to multitask and take in lots of information quickly and get it all the first time. I'm not sure I could survive in a world like that. However I know that you can be much more productive and get quality work done if you focus on one thing.

GNU/Linux is good for that.
