This week (4/27 through 5/03) on Work Matters we talk about how we can balance growing responsibilities by working smarter.

If you think about it, mounting workloads and dwindling staffs seem to encourage multitasking. But is that the smarter way to get things done?

Beth Pelkofsky and I start the show by discussing work issues in the news and answering listener questions in a regular show segment, Uncommon Sense.

Then Dave Crenshaw joins me to address this issue of multitasking while we discuss his book The Myth of Multitasking: How Doing It all Gets Nothing Done.

Finally, I share with you my perspective on working smarter in the ending segment: Something to Think About.

I'd love to hear from you! Please call my new toll-free number (1-866-944-8195) and tell me what's on your mind or let me know the questions you'd like my show to answer. Or if you prefer, contact me with any questions or comments at workmatters@nanrussell.com
