About this audiobook
Productivity and effective time management end with multitasking. The false idea that multitasking is productive has become even more prevalent and damaging to our productivity and well-being since the first edition of The Myth of Multitasking was published in 2008. In this revised and updated second edition, author and productivity expert Dave Crenshaw provides a solution for the chaos of distraction that multitasking creates-and a way to combat the temptation to constantly switch between tasks.
Learn how to actually get things done. Dave Crenshaw takes the idea of multitasking as a productivity tool and smashes it to smithereens. But rather than leaving you with the burden of wading through the wreckage all by yourself, he shows you how to focus, move forward, and free up more time for what you value the most.
In this new edition of The Myth of Multitasking, discover updated research on how and why multitasking doesn't work, along with easy, actionable steps to manage your life well and accomplish your dreams and goals. Fans of self-improvement books and time management books like Indistractable, Free to Focus, or It Doesn't Have to Be Crazy at Work will love increasing productivity and personal success with The Myth of Multitasking, Second Edition.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Good listen will definitely listen again this year. Good tips
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was a short, very effective story that illustrated the damage and frustration caused to businesses, customers, employees and significant relationships. I have learned from this book that multitasking is worse than a lie. I really needed the "setting boundaries " chapter.
