Myth of Multitasking
What is commonly called multitasking is actually rapid serial switching. For complex intellectual work, this is almost always a losing strategy
Return to Task Ritual
A brief repetition of the goal, next step, and completion criteria helps quickly return to a working state. This is especially important after forced distractions
One Context, One Window
The fewer alternative entries to other tasks are open at the same time, the easier it is to maintain the current work line. The environment should support singular focus
