There is one
reliable study that I read about knowledge workers and the finding is that
these workers face a distraction every 11 minutes on average, and that once
distracted, it takes them 25 minutes to get back to the task at hand.
20-40% of a
worker's productivity is eaten up by "task switching" - that is, the time it takes to mentally re-engage when shifting from one task to another.
This actually decreasing output 😅. We
live in a world of perpetual distraction. The unimportant and the trivial
consume time we should spend doing significant, meaningful work... We neglect
to focus.
Each of us
faces demands beyond our control. People make requests, ask for assistance and
'urgent' emails. All of these probably valid explanations for why it is hard to
focus (social media, on the other hand, although addictive can be controlled).
But they are not an excuse for being unfocused.
The goal of anyone who wants to act as a
LEADER is to move beyond the perpetual distractions we face and FOCUS ON WHAT
REALLY MATTERS
