Multitasking

"If you've mastered the art of multitasking, you probably feel you're getting more done in less time. Think again, experts say. Research suggests you lose time whenever you shift your attention from one task to another. The end result is that doing three projects simultaneously usually takes longer than doing them one after the other."

Interesting. It makes sense, but equally if I get stuck or lose enthusiasm for one project, it makes sense to take a break by working on something else until I feel ready to go back to the original task.

As a general new rule, I think I'll try to multi-task less from now on.
