Productivity and the Importance of Focus




ActionPodcast show

Summary: Do you know what it takes for you to be really focused on what matters? Do you know what makes the difference between your 'good' days and 'scattered' or 'overwhelmed' or 'totally unproductive' days? If you don't know this already, you are missing a massive trick to getting things done. In this podcast, Chris and Paul discuss why focus is critical but increasingly difficult to maintain. According to The Energy Project - an organisation that helps individuals, leaders and team to sustain high performance - the greatest drain on our energy in the modern workplace is our mental energy. This is our ability to remain focused on the task at hand while not giving in to instant gratification of switching tasks, checking emails or being drawn into an unnecessary conversation.
