Singletasking

Get More Done - One Thing at a Time

By: Devora Zack

Narrated by: Karen Saltus

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 you can accomplish a succession of tasks one by one - and be infinitely more productive. Singletasking is the secret to success and sanity.

Critic reviews

"In this fast paced world, multitasking has become second nature to most of us - but are we really accomplishing more? In Singletasking, Devora Zack shows us how doing one thing at a time reduces stress, increases efficiency, and produces higher quality results. If you want to work smarter, not harder, read this book!" (Ken Blanchard, coauthor of The One Minute Manager® and Refire! Don't Retire)

I enjoyed this!

A very refreshing and convincing argument for slowing way down, and focusing on one thing at a time. I found myself nodding along frequently throughout the narrative.

I really enjoyed listening to the author’s narration. She has quite a soothing and relaxed manner which is reflected nicely throughout her performance.

She is also quite FUNNY (!) with a dry sense of humor which I greatly enjoyed as well! A lot of really great ideas, and quite SPIRITUAL as well! Try it!! ☺️. ITS FREE!! 🤣

Okay, multitasking is bad, I get it!

This book is mostly the author is explaining over and over again why multitasking is unproductive.
