So I’ll admit, I’m guilty. I constantly multi-task. In fact, if I’m not doing more than one thing at a time, I feel like there is something wrong with me. Like I’m not on top of my game. And I bet most small business owners feel the same way.

LIsten to my 25 minute interview with Dave and you’ll learn:

  • How to minimize the frequency of interruptions you experience
  • 4 of Dave’s ‘switchbusters’ to help keep multi-tasking at bay

 

Don’t forget to let us know what you think of Dave’s tips and share your favorite tips for being productive.
