Stay focused? In this whirlwind of change?

FORMAT: 17-minute interactive micro-productivity webinar.

Life happens.  Things change.

Some days work out as planned.  Other days don't.   

I recently read about ‘deep work’: working in  “a state of distraction-free concentration … [creating] new value and improving your skills.”

I have experienced deep work.  But also periods of shallow work:  “non-cognitive, logistical or minor duties performed in a state of distraction”.

Do you also experience periods of shallow work in the interconnected online world of 2021?

We switch-task between email, group chat notifications, Zoom meetings, WhatsApp, SMS, Signal… and I almost forgot the old-fashioned phone calls!

For many people, working from home is here to stay.  With that comes its own set of new distractions to steal our attention.

Things change quickly. With every change, we can lose focus, lose time, waste money, and create rework.

Paradoxically, at the same time, we cannot afford to be rigid and inflexible.  Things change and we often need to ‘adapt or die’.

Let's be ready.
