In order for me to be efficient I first have to develop an understanding of what my mulitple tasks are and what they require of me. So organization is first - then single tasking each item is how I am most efficient.
It's so easy to lose momentum on a task or project if you are continuously interrupted by something else - like another task. A great example tends to be answering each email as you receive it. I am much more productive if I discipline myself to just check my emails once an hour and be done with it.
Single-tasking is for me!
