How does the global workspace theory explain multitasking?

Ah, multitasking, the juggling act of the mind! πŸ€Ήβ€β™‚οΈπŸ§  The global workspace theory explains multitasking as a battle royale for attentionπŸ€Όβ€β™€οΈ, where different tasks compete for the limited resources of the global workspace stage. 🎭🌟 So, when you try to multitask, your attention becomes a restless celebrity, hopping from task to task, like a hyperactive bunny on a caffeine-infused adventure! πŸ‡β˜•οΈπŸ’₯ But here's the twist, the more tasks you try to juggle, the more likely you'll drop the ball! πŸŽ©πŸ€Ήβ€β™€οΈβŒ So, be kind to your overworked attention, give it proper breaks, and maybe, just maybe, it won't throw a diva tantrum! πŸ˜œπŸ’ƒπŸ™Œ
