> What's true of both the crisis situation and the daily situation is that at any given moment, you can only ever actually be doing one thing. Sometimes you can organize your work such that while yes, technically you're just doing one activity, you're making progress on multiple todo entries simultaneously. I think that's an important facet of effective "multi-tasking"; it has more to do with how you organize your work than being good at context switching. Sortof akin to enabling SIMD use by organizing the data such that it's applicable. A practical example is I have this long-term excavation/grading project on my property that needs eventual doing. The dirt here is mostly sand, and I often mix stucco/concrete for projects. By deliberately sourcing the dirt from areas I need to excavate anyways, I'm making progress on the grading project when I'm making pavers or whatever needing sand.
