The Myth of Multitasking: How “Doing It All” Gets Nothing Done

By Dave Crenshaw

In this book, Dave Crenshaw argues that multitasking is a myth and that it actually reduces productivity. He provides a number of reasons why multitasking is counterproductive, including:

• It takes longer to complete tasks when you multitask.
• You make more mistakes when you multitask.
• You’re more likely to get stressed and burned out when you multitask.

Crenshaw also provides tips for how to focus on one task at a time and be more productive. These tips include:

• Set priorities and focus on the most important tasks first.
• Create a to-do list and schedule time for each task.
• Take breaks throughout the day to avoid burnout.

If you’re struggling to be productive, Crenshaw’s book can help you break the multitasking habit and get more done.
