Summary

"In this charming story, Dave Crenshaw takes the idea of multitasking as a productivity tool and smashes it to smithereens. But rather than leaving you to wade through the wreckage by yourself, he shows you how to focus, move forward, and free up more time for what you value most. 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 way to combat the temptation to constantly switch between tasks" -- Back cover.
