Timothy King Fri, 13 Oct 2006 02:23:36 +0000 http://www.jtse.com/blog/?p=123#comment-8962 Hi, Barry. Multitasking is definitely a big inefficiency. I was just reading in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0887308589/jtse-20"><em>The Dilbert Principle</em></a> something that reminded me of this, supposedly a true story: <blockquote>An employee suggests setting priorities so the company will know how to apply its limited resources. The manager's response: "Why can't we concentrate our resources across the board?"</blockquote> (If you don't see the humor in that, it's not your fault. You've been ruined by bad managers. Re-read it until you do.) -TimK Hi, Barry. Multitasking is definitely a big inefficiency. I was just reading in The Dilbert Principle something that reminded me of this, supposedly a true story:

Maybe the second paragraph should be replaced with a comment on the downside of multi-tasking. Work is done much more effectively when focussed and I seem to remember some studies that came out in the last month or so that supported this fact. Maybe a link to those would make a good second paragraph? If you can't find those studies email me and I'll look myself. Good luck, Barry Hi!

Timothy King Thu, 12 Oct 2006 03:37:20 +0000 http://www.jtse.com/blog/?p=123#comment-8943 Thanks for writing, Barry. WRT juggling: What do I know? I'm not very good at juggling, and I certainly wouldn't call myself a "juggler." Now that I think of it, I have seen routines where a juggler will throw two balls out of the same hand for a really cool effect. So I guess I need a new analogy. -TimK Thanks for writing, Barry.

Enjoyed the list. #2 is something I do at work but not at home on my various projects. It's a good idea that should be applied there, too. As a juggler, I have to nitpick your juggling example. It is not unusual to throw 2 balls out of the same hand simultaneously along different trajectories (multiplexing). Also, normally each hand is doing something at the same time as the other. I may be throwing something out of each hand simultaneously (1-up,2-up or maybe a crossing pattern), for example. Drop by a local club for a demonstration! http://www.juggling.org/meetings/close.html Barry Hi!
