The Mandelbear's Musings

Interestingly enough, they've recently proven that people are less productive when multi-tasking than when not, regardless of Asperger's status. (Not that this doesn't seem intuitively obvious anyway. This is the news article I got that from.) I suspect some (many?) individuals with Aspergers are either less able to make the transitions, or maybe simply more aware of the cost of the transitions, but it turns out that approach doesn't really benefit most people. (In terms of productivity. I end up doing it all the time at my job because the ability to adjust to a changing priority is more critical than the efficiency of finishing all my tasks. But I know it makes me less efficient on a task-by-task basis than if I could focus on each of them one at a time.)
