If your to-do list never seems to get any shorter, the stress can add up and tax your body, making you age more quickly than you should. 

Chronic stress triggers the release of free radicals, unstable molecules that damage cells. What can we do?  We need to stop the multi-tasking. It seems as if it would make us more efficient, but it can actually create more stress.
