I’m always interested in evolving my own productivity and this article struck a chord with me just because it’s how I’ve been thinking of late.  The suggestion that multitaskers typically don’t do a great job with each task is not a surprise but single tasking is too slow and isn’t the answer either.  The conclusion that being selective about a few high value tasks to pursue at any one time seems very valid to me and having done it for a while now I think it’s a very effective way of getting the most important things done.

I also like this post on productivity that suggests not only having goals but also having a very clear plan to attain them.  Turning the volume down on lesser tasks and learning to ignore them is also a great technique and one that I am still working on!
