The cost of context switching.

In a day, you may switch the context 5 times or even 10 times and still be able to get maybe 2-3 meaningful things done.

The technology though makes it more likely that we switch context sometimes even hundreds of times a day.

There is a cost to context switching and with each switch there is a diminishing return.

Most days, if we are not careful, we may end up being busy all the time without getting anything tangible done.
