Webinar - From Distracted to Productive: Finding Your Productivity and Focus in a Hyper-Interrupted, e-Distracted World

Includes a Live Web Event on 03/13/2025 at 1:00 PM (EDT)

E-mail. Texts. Interruptions. Phone Calls. Project Transitions. Event Insanity. Office Clutter. Social and Other Media. Smart Phones and Apps. Even Family and Friends. These common distractions make it almost impossible to get anything done. It seems like there is always SOMETHING getting in the way of what you really need to do. But with some forethought and effective strategies, as well as some discipline, it is possible to find your focus, even in a hyper-distracted world. We'll have a fun time sharing "game plan" ideas for getting and keeping your distractions under control and finding critical "focused productivity" time every day, leading to both performance but also clarity of mind and purpose. And, this program is now "audience flexed" -- the speaker will poll the audience at the start of the program to find out YOUR biggest distractions, and will customize the content accordingly. SQUIRREL!

This program will cover the following (depending on the audience flex!):
  • The state of interruptions and distraction in today’s professional world
  • The two key ways e-mail distracts you (and solutions for managing that!)
  • Dealing with other common office inputs efficiently (voice mail, documents, e-documents, faxes, texts, “stacks and piles”, etc.)
  • More effectively dealing with unexpected interruptions (phone calls, “stop by’s”, texts) and project transitions to maintain “traction” and reduce distraction (including now at “work from home)
  • Reducing the e-distraction of computers, second monitors, smart phones, tablets, social media, news feeds, streaming programs, and apps (and enhanced productivity tips for these same devices)
  • Dealing with “work from home” distractions – spouses, kids, the UPS driver, even your dogs!
  • A few key office/info clutter strategies for better organization
  • A discussion on what really happens when people try to “Multitask” and perhaps a better idea?
  • “Game plan” techniques for better managing the start of your day and your work/information through the day for higher productivity, more focus, and less distraction
