The latest research suggests that the typical middle class in a city now have so many time- saving tools that they can fit into 24 hours the same quantity of tasks that ten years ago would have taken 31 hours to complete.

For many people, the busy time starts over breakfast, reading emails on a hand-held BlackBerry while toasting bread. It carries on in the car where a driver with a Bluetooth earpiece holds a conference call while keeping an ear on the radio and checking the GPS.

Work then includes a lot of emails, phone calls, and meetings, often happening at the same time. However, according to OTX, an American research organization, the busiest period of multitasking appears to be in the evening. “People will be pressing the television remote control while using a computer on their knee, emailing and texting friends on a mobile phone, and holding a conversation with friends or family members.” Said Patrick Moriarty, one of the authors of the report.

According to the study, while television remains the main attention in the evening, nearly half the people were also using computers and phones to catch up with friends, update their social networks, or download and listen to music.

Mark Vickery, 35, from Medway, Kent, concurred. For him and his wife Susan, an NHS (National Health Service) doctor, the evening was the peak of multitasking. “Both of us are out of the house during the day,” said Vickery, a marketing manager. “When we come back in the evening we’re likely to have a lot of technology on the go. Well be using online banking, Facebook, and email, and programming the TV shows we want to watch later.”

“On the one hand it’s good-you get more done. On the other hand, when I left university seven years ago, life was much simpler. There was more talking face-to-face and more time spent over dinner.”
