I’ve written several posts (here’s one, and another) on the value of eliminating distractions and doing focused work. And one of the most crucial steps towards distraction-free focus is to stop multi-tasking. For more on that topic, here’s a great guest post on the Harvard Business Review. What I like best is that rather than promising to eliminate multi-tasking altogether, the author simply tried an experiment for one week. Once he saw the benefits, it was much easier to stick to it.
