Did you know 76% of employees spend too much of their time reacting to immediate demands rather than focusing on activities with longer-term leverage? 69% of employees have difficulty focusing on one thing at a time and are easily distracted during the day – especially by email
Multi-Tasking
• Many people pride themselves on being great multi-taskers…this is actually
a misnomer!
• Human brains process information sequentially and cannot process two
cognitive tasks at the same time. What their really doing is “task switching.
• This movement between tasks prompts significant costs! It’s incredibly less
efficient!
Impact of low mental energy:
- Continuous partial attention increases completion time by 25% and errors by 30%
- Short term reactive thinking drives narrow, shallow, and less nuanced results instead of creative problem solving, spotting trends, and higher level analysis.
- Lack of boundaries and clear end points to work leads to burnout and turnover.
- Increased distractions diminish feelings of accomplishment and job satisfaction.
