Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Ben on May 26, 2021

A short and sweet examination of the value of doing one-thing-at-a-time. This isn't going to come out and hit you with advice you haven't heard elsewhere, but Devora Zack has done an excellent job of creating a comprehensive, and accessible guide to "singletasking" aka mono-tasking.......more
