Powerful Planning for Increased Productivity
Creativity and Growth
“We check our phones every 12 minutes, often just after waking up. This ‘always-on’ behaviour is harmful to long-term mental health, and we need to learn to the hit the pause button”
The Guardian
Open-plan offices lend themselves to a ‘free for all’ when it comes to communicating with questions and comments being randomly fired out to anyone who is listening but in so doing, interrupting the train of thought in everyone within earshot.
The stats on the impact of such interruptions on our productivity are shocking!
An interruption of just 4.4 seconds can triple the risk of errors.
When people get interrupted frequently, there’s only a 44% chance that they’ll leave feeling like "today was a really successful day."
By contrast, when people can block out interruptions at work, there’s a 67% chance they’ll leave feeling like "today was a really successful day."
That’s a huge change in accomplishment just based on whether we get interrupted frequently or we can block out interruptions.
This Masterclass addresses the minimising effects of frequent interruptions and the long-term impact on the brain, our creativity, productivity and growth.
