Challenge
In today’s world, there are many opportunities for both organizations and individuals to accomplish extraordinary goals. However, the demands of our jobs, coupled with a great deal of information from so many sources (e.g. texts, emails, reports, tweets, blogs, websites, etc.) can be overwhelming, exhausting and distracting.
The sheer volume of distractions threatens our ability to think clearly and make good decisions. If we react to these stimuli without careful discernment, we will sink into a sea of irrelevancy and fail to accomplish the things that matter most in our professional and personal lives.
In a survey of more than 300,000 respondents, they spent only 60% of their time on important tasks and the remaining 40% was wasted on the unimportant and irrelevant tasks. This means organizations are bearing the labour cost of almost half a day of full-time employees’ with low productivity.
