Singletasking, livre ebook

There 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.
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.
