Concepts and Exercises

Crenshaw takes us through an understanding of backgroundtasking, active switches, passive switches, microswitching costs, and other interesting concepts.

His book contains a marvelous exercise with which readers can prove to themselves that this is actually the case, i.e., that switchtasking takes longer than actually doing one thing at a time. He also provides worksheets at the end of the book so we can examine how we are processing tasks and learn how to become more effective in our work.
 
I really like this book and recommend that you read it if you are a business owner or someone who feels overwhelmed from time to time by all the things you are working on and need to get done.

Geez—would that be all of us?

Dave’s Web site has a good, short video on the home page. Cool stuff.
