If you're ready to start multitasking in a more effective and productive way, then this book is for you!Productivity and efficiency are the keys to success in today's workplace. Today's work environment has changed a lot over the past few decades, and while the older generation is used to having one job, and performing the same individual task for years and years, that is simply not the case today. Unless you are an assembly line worker, for example, or a surgeon specializing in one specific niche surgery type, you simply will no longer be able to survive the workforce today doing the same thing over and over again. Many people turn to multitasking in order to complete their workloads in the required timeframe (which seems to be growing shorter and shorter as employers associate the value of time with the value of money). Theoretically knowing how to multitask and actually being good at it are two different things though. Despite the good intention behind multitasking, research has shown that it inevitably produces a bottleneck effect, which then can lead to a significant slow-down in the processing of the tasks being handled. Since the brain cannot fully focus on multiple tasks at the same time, multitasking might actually cause the task to be finished slower. Not only that, but since you're only paying attention partially - but not completely - the tasks are naturally predisposed to a greater number of errors. Multitasking has also received a lot of criticism because it forces one to pay less attention to a lot of information and only focus on what is perceived to be most important. This can cause people to feel less pride in what they accomplished, since they did not really pay that much attention. This book is designed to help you discover a different, better, and much more effective way to multitask - one that avoids all the common pitfalls of the typical style of multitasking that leads to inefficiencies and errors.

Multitasking Doesn’t Work —Learn What Does! “...multitasking is, in fact, a lie that actually wastes time, energy, and money. Most of all, it robs us of life and our relationships with others.” —Chuck Norris, world-renowned actor and martial artist Through anecdotal and real-world examples, The Myth of Multitasking proves that multitasking hurts your focus and productivity. Instead, learn how to be more effective by doing one thing at a time. Productivity and effective time management end with multitasking. The false idea that multitasking is productive has become even more prevalent and damaging to our productivity and well-being since the first edition of The Myth of Multitasking was published in 2008. In this revised and updated second edition, author and productivity expert Dave Crenshaw provides a solution for the chaos of distraction that multitasking creates —and a way to combat the temptation to constantly switch between tasks. Learn how to actually get things done. Dave Crenshaw takes the idea of multitasking as a productivity tool and smashes it to smithereens. But rather than leaving you with the burden of wading through the wreckage all by yourself, he shows you how to focus, move forward, and free up more time for what you value the most. In this new edition of The Myth of Multitasking, discover: Updated research on how and why multitasking doesn’t work Worksheets to help you figure out how to manage your day effectively Easy, actionable steps to manage your life well and accomplish your dreams and goals Readers of self-improvement books and time management books like Indistractable, Free to Focus, or It Doesn't Have to Be Crazy at Work will love increasing productivity and personal success with The Myth of Multitasking.

“Can literally double your productivity and performance overnight. This may be the most important book on time and personal management you will ever read.” —Brian Tracy, international bestselling author of Eat That Frog! Your mind can’t be two places at once. Too many of us have become addicted to the popular, enticing, dangerously misleading drug of multitasking. Devora Zack was once hooked herself. But she beat it and became more efficient, and you can too. Zack marshals convincing neuroscientific evidence to prove that you really can’t do more by trying to tackle several things at once—it’s an illusion. There is a better way to deal with all the information and interruptions that bombard us today. Singletasking explains exactly how to clear and calm your mind, arrange your schedule and environment, and gently yet firmly manage the expectations of people around you so that you can accomplish a succession of tasks, one by one—and be infinitely more productive. Singletasking is the secret to success and sanity. “Devora Zack shows us how doing one thing at a time reduces stress, increases efficiency, and produces higher quality results. If you want to work smarter, not harder, read this book!” —Ken Blanchard, #1 New York Times-bestselling coauthor of The One Minute Manager® “Don’t let Zack’s lighthearted tone fool you—Singletasking is backed by hard science, and this book’s pragmatic advice can really change your work and your life.” —David Bach, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of The Automatic Millionaire “Zack shows readers how they can manage the expectations of others, unplug from technology (at times), and operate in the moment.” —Library Journal
