The Danger of Distraction - Surviving Work in a 24/7 World

We now live and work in a 24/7 world where rings, pings and vibrations are the soundtrack of productivity in our personal and professional lives. It is not unusual to see 2:00am time stamps and to expect immediate email responses. The good news and bad news is the technology-driven global economy has increased our access to information and to each other. The result is a challenge to prioritize, set boundaries and stay focused.

By engaging in several easy practices, it is possible to regain a sense of control over a complex set of expectations that now drive our interactions and define success. This web presentation provides strategies for helping you maintain a focus on your highest priorities and completing the tasks that support your goals (and your sanity!).

This web presentation covers:

• Identifying the most common distractions around us
• The impact of distractions - the good, bad and ugly
