Finding Productivity in a Hyper-Interrupted, e-Distracted World
From a live client 2-hour webinar program taped during the pandemic: E-mail. Texts. Interruptions. Phone Calls. Project Transitions. Office Clutter. Social and Other Media. Smart Phones and Apps. Even Family and Friends. These common distractions make it almost impossible to get anything done, especially for those of us now “working from home” due to the COVID outbreak. It seems like there is always SOMETHING getting in the way of what you really need to do.
But with some forethought and effective strategies, as well as some discipline, it is possible to find your focus, even in a hyper-distracted world. We'll have a fun time sharing "game plan" ideas for getting and keeping your distractions under control and finding critical "focused productivity" time every day, leading to both performances but also the clarity of mind and purpose.
