It depends upon the personality of a particular person. Women has a great percentage of effectiveness in multitasking job since they got more endurance than men. Men always want to have a focus on one job.

Erik: I am trying to do several things right now, reading your entry and then comment. And listen to music at the same time. And thinking of next action steps, etc... ;)

I can't agree more Eric, multitasking is really the main assassin of productivity. I'm talking based on personal experience. The best thing is to always focus on one task at a time that way, you will discover how productive you are. Thanks for sharing this with the bizsugar community.
