Mono-tasking….Multitasking…Mono-tasking…
As good as I may be at doing multiple things at once, multitasking a primary focus with distractions (Facebook, Chat, Twitter) does not make my productivity more than the sum of its foci. For such situations, it really does make sense to mono-task.
On the flip side, there’s really no point in focusing so hard on one task that you start waiting for it to finish itself. If the printer is taking awhile or the computer wants you to stare at a fancy loading bar, start up the multitasking again. Keep moving.
