Episode #151 - Starve Your Distractions, Feed Your Focus
We live in a distracted society, full stop.
With our attention span being at that of a goldfish, it’s no wonder there studies galore about how our focus and productivity is being demolished by the day.
Consider these statistics:
Carleton University surveyed 1,500 people in six organisations and found that, on average, they worked 47.2 hours a week and spent 17 of those hours on email.
Email interruptions increase employees time on tasks by one-third.
The average office worker is productive for only three hours a day.
36% of Millennials and Gen Z admit to spending two hours or more checking their smartphones at work.
