Unit price perThere is too much to do in too little time. But bestselling author Devora Zack says multitasking is a phony solution. It's stressful, inefficient, unnatural, and even dangerous. Through this book-which is the answer to many people's prayers-she shows how you can singletask your way to success and tranquility.
We have become a nation-one of many-addicted to the popular, enticing, and dangerously misleading drug of multitasking. Author Devora Zack was hooked once herself. We hope by doing several tasks at once we can accomplish more-but Zack marshals a host of neuroscientific research to show that the opposite is true. The fact is, your brain is simply not built to multitask. In any situation we're most efficient focusing on one task at a time. But with all the information and interruptions that bombard us, how is that possible?
Singletasking explains exactly how to clear and calm your mind, arrange your schedule and environment, and gently but firmly manage the expectations of people around you so that you can accomplish a succession of tasks, one at a time-and be infinitely more productive and effective. This book flies in the face of long-standing rhetoric glorifying multitasking. Elegantly simple methods are presented on how to tackle an insurmountable list of to-dos with less effort and greater ease. Only clowns should juggle. Singletasking is the key to success and sanity.
