Reviews
"This little book was both a pleasure to read and offered some verypractical advice in the form of a modern day fable." ( OliverStarr, Editor, Getting Things Done Times ) "Are you a master of juggling e-mail, voice mail, cell-phonecalls and the like? No, you're not, says this slimfable-cum-manifesto against multitasking. The author, a businesscoach, gently ridicules the idea that anyone can concentrate on twothings at the same time." ( Andrea Sachs, Senior Reporter, Time Magazine , November 2, 2008) "This simple yet powerful book shows clearly why multitaskingis, in fact, a lie that wastes time and costs money. Farfrom being efficient, multitasking actually damages productivityand relationships at work and at home."( businessskillbooks . blogspot.com , November 24,2008) "I applaud Crenshaw for taking on a popular buzzword andsmall-scale plague not only in business life, but also ourday-to-day world. Multitasking is indeed a myth. I would be temptedto be more vigorous in my rhetoric and say that multitasking is afraud and a thief." ( businesscoach.us.com , November 24,2008) "Crenshaw's on a mission to reduce distractions, interruptions,and fire-fighting at work, and create environments that letemployees see through tasks with their full attention before movingonto the next thing." ( blumerlamotte.blogspot.com , October13, 2008)

Synopsis
There is an illusion that technology, cell phones, e-mail, faxes, text messaging and whatever is latest-and-greatest all make us more productive. The reality, though, is that these things will only make us productive if we take control of them. The irony is that in "doing it all", we are getting less done., Praise for The Myth of Multitasking "If every busy professional could internalize Crenshawsmessage in this book, wed all get much more done in less time." --Gina Trapani, lead editor, Lifehacker.com; and author, Upgrade Your Life "Every great CEO and rainmaker needs this book!" --Jeffrey J. Fox, author, How to Become a Rainmaker "A fresh take on the problem of timewasters in ourcorporate and personal lives, The Myth of Multitasking willchange your paradigm about what is productive and what is not.I loved the concept of switchtasking versus multitasking.A must-read for all." --Hyrum Smith, co-founder, Franklin Covey;and CEO, Galileo, In a compelling business fable, The Myth of Multitasking confronts a popular idea that has come to define our hectic, work-a-day world. This simple yet powerful book shows clearly why multitasking is, in fact, a lie that wastes time and costs money. Far from being efficient, multitasking actually damages productivity and relationships at work and at home.
