Michael, the author of Black Belt Productivity, make a compelling case to read the new book by Dave Crenshaw entitled “The Myth of Multi-Tasking.”
He interviews the author, who shares the gist of the ideas contained in the book. Essentially, he argues that multi-tasking is something that humans are incapable of doing well, and in our age of cell-phones and Blackberry’s, it’s something we should strive not to do. Instead, we should create environments that help us to focus as much of our attention on what we are doing in the moment.
At first blush, it appears to confirm my own observations in this area, so I am open to reading the book, but I’ll look at some more of the reviews before deciding to invest the time. 2Time is built on this very same notion of creating an uninterrupted flow of activity.

I’m in a rush, but wanted to let you know about the error at the beginning of your post.
It reads:
“Warning: parse_url(http://): Unable to parse url in /home/content/f/w/a/fwade/html/2TimeBlog/wp-content/plugins/local-analytics/local-analytics.php on line 123″
It occurs on both the webpage and in Feedburner. Feel free to delete this comment once you have attended to the error.
Sorry I can’t provide more substance - meeting in five.
Thanks dude!
I have been fighting with Explorer vs. Firefox issues for a couple of hours and didn’t even see this one (I was in a different blog.)
Whew!
Hi Francis, thanks for the post. I’ve been reading through your blog and would say we are definitely in agreement with each other. Minimizing switches drastically improves productivity, increases usable time, and reduces stress.
All the best,
Dave Crenshaw
