Effective task switching is a learned skill.. I often find that switching between 2 or 3 tasks a few times over the course of a day, helps me be more productive because blocking is less of an issue and sometimes blocking due to problems needing to be solved, can be iterated on subconsciously while you're forebrain is doing something else.. I think there are parallels with neural networks.. task switching helps make your network generalize better.
