Wow, I have not studied economics but have experienced this first hand. When we
were a much smaller company we took on many jobs to stay alive. I used to be
put on multiple projects simultaniously, and do technical support for a network
of about 50 computers in many remote offices.  It often felt like very little
progress was being made in anything I did.  When I convinced my boss to let me
work un-interrupted on a single project I couldn't believe how much work got
done in just one week.

I can believe it.  I better get started soon!


Thanks,
Ryan
