Switching it up: the cost of switching between tasks

<p>When we switch between one task and another due to an interuption there is a cost.  Whilst we may feel like we are managing we often underestimate the toll task-switching has on our time, productivity and wellbeing.  In this episode we take a brief look at how we get interupted, the cost of those interuptions and the impact it has on learning, productivity and our wellbeing as a whole.  Plus there is a great little experiment you can do so have a pen and paper ready.  The book mentioned is Flow: the classic work on how to achieve happiness by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.</p>
