It all depends on what you are optimizing for. You can do a lot of work in parallel if you have the correct coroutine architecture. That involves encapsulating information in a way that you can put it down and pick it back up efficiently. An upside of developing this skill is that if you become adept at storing the relevant information, you will be better at handing that information off to another person. Further, absolute productivity at a single task is rarely the most important thing. If it is, then you've reduced yourself to a cog or a worker bee. Taking responsibility for the direction of your work means accepting that you need to be part of the decision-making process, which will lower your absolute productivity, but (done well) will increase your overall effectiveness.
