the myth of monotasking

There is a fascinating podcast over at HBR with Cathy Davidson on how we handle multiple inputs etc. A couple of takeaways for me:

i. the value of disruption - causing us to see things we didn't know were there & couldn't see in our attempt at a singular focus
ii. we all see selectively but we don't all selectively see the same things - thus, the value of collaboration and the need for humility (no-one - not even you - sees everything)
