Your Mind Can't Be Two Places at OnceToo many of us have become addicted to the popular, enticing, dangerously misleading drug of multitasking. Devora Zack was once hooked herself. But she beat it and became more efficient, and you can too. Zack marshals convincing neuroscientific evidence to prove that you really can't do more by trying to tackle several things at once - it's an illusion. There is a better way to deal with all the information and interruptions that bombard us today. Singletasking explains exactly how to clear and calm your mind, arrange your schedule and environment, and gently yet firmly manage the expectations of people around you so that you can accomplish a succession of tasks, one by one - and be infinitely more productive. Singletasking is the secret to success and sanity.

My newest book is Singletasking: Get More Done One Thing at a Time. Revitalize your focus, relationships, and productivity by learning how to live in a 'flow' state. Go ahead, toss 'multitasking' out the window! Singletasking has been called 'life changing,' 'the most important book you'll read,' and 'a breath of fresh air.'
My 2012 release is 'Managing for People Who Hate Managing,' and if you work or live with people who see the world through a different lens, this book is for you! It is chockfull of useful, customized tips suited to match your own fabulous personality. The book kicks off with an enlightening new personality assessment and offers a plethora of field-tested techniques to catapult you into a whole new realm of success and satisfaction. You'll learn how to maximize your natural strengths while also 'flexing your style' to best motivate and inspire others.
My first book, Networking for People Who Hate Networking (2010) , is for people who have always hated networking and think they stink at it...foolishly following techniques that drain rather than energize them. Do you believe your natural traits can be your best strengths, networking is about meaningful connections, and cocktail parties can be a blast? Believe it! I've heard from hundreds of readers around the world sharing fantastic examples of how this book has helped them not only build meaningful, lasting connections, but - more importantly - enabled them to understand and accept themselves in a new way.
Can't wait to hear your stories.
