Ping! Ping! Zoom! Huddle Request!
Hi there,
23 minutes.
Did you know that’s the average time it takes to get back on task after getting distracted at work? ⏰
That’s the average time for every distraction.
As the pings, Huddle requests, Zooms, emails, and texts fly through… We can feel distracted by every different channel all at once. Every notification has the potential to throw us off-balance for 23 minutes.
Not only does this impact our productivity, but it can leave us feeling less satisfied with our work and more emotionally drained.
Let’s streamline these notifications.
⚡ Supercharge of the Week
Consider all of the cross-functional teams you’re collaborating with right now… Count them up.
Product, Engineering, GTM, Marketing, Operations, UX… It’s likely that each of these teams works in a different way. Your company is probably relying on a massive number of tools to streamline communication – an average of 37 and up to 90 for larger companies!
This is where distraction comes into the picture. If you’re responsible for leading delivery or communication on a cross-functional project, you’re likely balancing this pile of tools. And a pile of tools leads to a pile of notifications. 🤯
