“Honolulu’s groundbreaking new law restricting the use of cell phones while driving has made us all pay closer attention to our own proclivities, and those of other motorists, for doing other stuff while at the wheel. It can be humbling or ennervating depending on whether you focus on your own sins or other people’s.”

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

You’ve heard that before, right?

But have you heard that your productivity is only as strong as your personal weakest link?

You probably are very strong in a few areas of productivity already. Maybe you have great follow-through. Maybe you make an effort to always be on time. Perhaps you have a very organized workspace.

It’s typically for the business leaders I work with to be strong in a few areas. Unfortunately it’s the one weak area that causes their chain to fall apart. That’s why they come to me for helps.

What is your ONE weakest area?

Mastering the entire productivity chain is critical to making yourself invaluable in today’s market.

Allow yourself to continue to operate with weak links, and
you make yourself easier to replace. You decrease the amount of money you can make. You devastate your own job security.

Watch this video, then comment to share what you feel is your ONE biggest weak link in your productivity chain.

A study was released this week by René Marois and Paul Dux of Vanderbilt University that highlights the ability of the brain to “learn” how to multitask more efficiently. At first glance, it may appear that the findings support the idea that one can actually become more efficient through multitasking. However, what it is really saying is that one can become more efficient at multitasking.

From the moment I began talking about the myth of multitasking, I was confronted by this one big question.

Can women multitask better than men?People often cite “studies” than have shown conclusively that women can multitask better than men.

I’ve been testing a G1 phone from T-Mobile for the last few weeks. So far I have been very impressed and I believe Android is the phone operating system of the future.

However, I did come across one big “Uh-Oh” regarding at least the way T-Mobile handles the service. If you’re using the G1, and planning to go abroad be sure to contact T-Mobile beforehand to add the WorldClass service feature to your data.

Don’t teenagers have an advantage when it comes to multitasking? They grew up in a technology-driven world, right? They pop out of the womb with the ability to send 100 text messages per minute.

By the age of two they have mastered the zen art of the Wii.

At age four, they can create a spreadsheet in Excel for calculating the statistical probability of getting no green M&Ms in a bag of candy.

Don’t they have the ability to multitask?

I’ll admit it. I was multitasking while writing this. With multiple projects on my mind, my work set-up demonstrated it. I had several Firefox tabs open with different types of sites, ranging from blogs to newspapers, Gmail to random research.

When the NBC affiliate in Philadelphia suggested that students in the area try giving up their cell phones, computers, iPods and video games for 10 days, David Silver didn’t think much of the idea. Live without text messages? He couldn’t do that for an hour, much less 10 days.

It seems like a pretty reasonable rule: When you are driving, stay off of your cell phone.

After all, there is enough to do already. There are the physical and mental demands of operating a vehicle, combined with the extracurricular activities of finding a decent tune on the radio, checking the time, adjusting the temperature, making sure your hair looks all right in the rear-view mirror, and perhaps attempting to have a conversation with a passenger, to name a few.

It’s a wonder we ever get anything done. It’s not a problem if you’re doing one thing at a time. But you can’t work on one thing when you have to learn how to multitask if you ever expect to keep up with the modernized Jones family next door. Multitasking is like when you drive a car, talk on a phone, eat french fries with ketchup, drink a Slurpee, smoke a cigarette and fumble with the stereo knob all at the same time.

All my pillows and blankets had been given a new home, seemingly strategically placed around the floor. The toy “garage” had been cleared out – it’s contents also had new homes all throughout the house and the garage had been filled with the shoes from the shoe closet.

My grandmother, born in 1892 on an Iowa farm, witnessed in awe, via live television, the 1969 lunar landing and first human walk on the moon. I remember thinking at the time what an incredible amount of technological progress she had experienced in her lifetime: Going from a horseand-buggy, hand-made, labor intensive agrarian existence without the benefit of electricity, indoor plumbing, refrigeration or telephones, to a modern world of motorized transportation, labor saving devices, television and rocket science. I also recall wondering (how could I have been so naive?) if I would encounter in my future anything that could possibly compare with the scope of that period of revolutionary change. Well, hello; welcome to the world of information technology and the age of the digital mind.
