I would say there are pros and cons in multi tasking. It is an efficient way, when you do multitasking you feel like you are handling everything superbly. But several time you may loose focus on important things.

You are right we cannot actually focus on a particular task. But people say that multitasking helps them in finishing tasks faster, is it so?

Yes, it is surely increasing the productivity. When someone is working on multiple tasks they always tend to concentrate on each and every task they have to finish. But if someone is just having one work to finish they are not concentrating on the work. In my life, I have faced that. When I have fewer works I am not doing any. But When I have multiple tasks I am concentrating on all. Because I know that I have a less time to do all and I have a lot to do.

Don't you feel like the multitasking reduces the quality of the output,?.The quantity may increase but not the quality I guess

Multitasking is a good thing,It will make you to manage your time,increase your thinking process also keep you active and productive,
But it's not always work some times you lost your focus from the important thing,So we have to priorities the thing while doing multi tasking.

I accept your point,prioritizing works would help in making quality outputs
