Note that the post says "context switching is the issue". That's probably true. I and probably many others too, developed some natural defense against it. I just keep thinking about my task while half-listening to whatever comes up and unless its really that important, just keep it in a corner of my head (or if its a phone conversation, just give basic preplanned replies which take no thinking and make the opposite party happy. I just can't help it, it's automatic). That's probably because i'm passionate about my tasks and rather introverted, tho. But I though it's interesting to think about it that way too.
