How To Handle Distractions In The Workplace - GennGlobalSarah Ward
Emails, phone calls, meetings, and environments can all be sources of distraction in the workplace. To manage email and phone call distractions, set aside specific times each day to respond instead of constantly checking. For meetings, organize your schedule so they are back-to-back in blocks instead of scattered throughout the day. You can also control your environment's lighting, heating, and noise levels to optimize it for productivity. Finally, be aware of what personally distracts you, such as social media or websites, and use tools like a Pomodoro timer to stay focused.

Office 365 User Group (Birmingham) The Value of Office365 for Micro BusinessesAntony Clay
The document discusses how work is changing and the role of technology in enabling new ways of working. It notes that most work is no longer done in factories and the traditional 9-5 schedule does not exist. Organizations have changed and networks allow collaborating outside traditional hierarchies. Economic pressures, cultural shifts, and physical constraints are driving a need for innovation. The cloud allows work to be done from anywhere and enables focusing on business rather than infrastructure.
We’re all living in a disruption society. Hundreds if not thousands of new e-mail
messages hit our inbox every day. Social media notifications pop up around the
clock. With all of these daily distractions, how is a professional supposed to stay
focused? And to an even greater degree, as a leader how do you help your team
minimize distraction to maintain productivity and produce innovative ideas?
Recognizing and preventing distractions in the workplaceDenis Duvauchelle
This document identifies four principal areas of office distraction - people, things, sights, and environment. It then provides recommendations on how to deal with each type of distraction, such as using noise-canceling headphones to block out chatty coworkers, dedicating time each week to organizing digital files and emails to reduce clutter, and setting boundaries with coworkers to protect focus time. Environmental factors like lighting, temperature and indoor air quality are also addressed with suggestions to improve conditions for focus and productivity.

Multitasking is commonly practiced by millennials but can reduce productivity and increase stress. While the brain can listen to music and do other tasks simultaneously, rapidly switching between complex tasks overloads the brain and reduces performance. Studies show multitasking leads to up to a 40% drop in productivity and 10% reduction in IQ. While multitasking may give a sense of motivation and productivity, evidence suggests it actually increases stress and reduces focus, efficiency, and work quality. Experts recommend setting boundaries and focusing on one task at a time to avoid these negative impacts of multitasking.
This document discusses the differences between multitasking and task engagement. It explains that multitasking involves switching between tasks before completion and leads to delays, stress, and lower quality work. Task engagement means focusing completely on one task at a time until it is finished. The document outlines some of the personal and organizational costs of multitasking, as well as the benefits of task engagement like faster completion, higher quality work, and less stress. It argues that simply telling people to stop multitasking is not enough and that a transition requires awareness, prioritization of tasks, protection from interruptions, and experience of "flow".
This document discusses multi-tasking among Pakistani youth in business communication. It defines multi-tasking as the ability to execute more than one task simultaneously, like eating, talking on the phone, and driving at the same time. The document notes that reading and computer activities like messaging and online gaming are most multi-tasked by youth, while TV and video games involve less additional tasks. Finally, it states that most youth multi-task with media at least some of the time, doing so for an average of 26% of their media consumption, with instant messaging and internet surfing being the media most commonly combined with other tasks.

Focus and flow: accomplishing more by decluttering and single-taskingDyan Williams
This document presents strategies for improving focus and productivity through decluttering and single-tasking. It discusses how busyness and multitasking reduce focus and flow. The alternative is decluttering by prioritizing key tasks and making deliberate choices. Single-tasking, or doing one thing at a time, is also presented as an alternative to multitasking. Basic steps for decluttering and single-tasking include defining priorities, unplugging from technology, and scheduling time blocks.
Multitasking negatively impacts the brain and is an ineffective way to accomplish tasks. Most people are unable to truly multitask and instead switch between tasks rapidly in a way that impairs performance. Scientific studies show that multitasking diminishes cognitive abilities like mental organization and memory, and that multitaskers have more difficulty switching between tasks. While many continue to multitask due to a misbelief in their abilities, it is an inefficient way to work that wastes time and reduces productivity.
1) Multitasking can be stressful and unhealthy as the brain can only focus on one task at a time. Trying to do multiple tasks at once reduces work quality and productivity.
2) The stress of constantly switching between tasks raises stress levels in the long term, which can negatively impact both mental and physical health.
3) While it may seem efficient, research shows that multitasking actually makes people less productive and wastes time as there are switching costs when moving between tasks. It is better to focus on one task at a time.
Multitasking has become a virtue in modern business, but it may come at great cost. While the brain can focus on two tasks simultaneously by splitting labor between hemispheres, managing more than two tasks reduces efficiency significantly. Frequent interruptions cost the average knowledge worker 2.1 hours per day and $588 billion annually for businesses. Multitasking also increases stress levels, which impacts health and reduces creativity needed for innovation. True focus on one task at a time may be more productive approach.
The Balance of Workplace mobility in East Africa Community Deogratius Kilawe
The document discusses the benefits of workplace mobility in East Africa. It notes that technology is changing how businesses operate, and that gone are the days where time and attendance fully measure productivity. Workplace mobility, where employees can work remotely using mobile devices, leads to increased productivity, better processes, and higher employee satisfaction. However, challenges like poor sleep, physical disconnection, and anxiety can arise if mobility is not implemented properly. Employers can address these challenges by providing better technology, using AI to promote healthy behaviors, encouraging productive workflows, and creating better work environments.
Multitasking: How brain works on different tasksMujahid Hussain
The document discusses how the brain works and processes information. It states that the brain contains billions of nerve cells arranged in patterns that coordinate thought, emotion, behavior, movement, vision and sensation. It also discusses that multitasking is impossible as the brain can only focus on one task at a time. The document provides examples of how the brain codes information and transmits it from one region to another. It also discusses how computer processing works much faster than the human brain at framing information. Further, it talks about how the brain stores memories and information when we learn or experience something and how we can improve our speaking skills by listening to English speakers.
Why you should use Enterprise Social NetworkingCraig Skipsey
This document discusses the benefits of using enterprise social networking (ESN) in businesses. ESN allows for improved communication across organizational hierarchies by enabling direct sharing, listening, and collaboration between managers and any employee, anywhere and anytime. Some key benefits of ESN include 25% productivity improvements and 50% faster returns for shareholders according to various studies. The document recommends businesses trust their employees, officially adopt ESN, and speak with experts to help leverage these tools.

Small Business Big Impact: 10 Facts About Small Businesses Carbonite
Small businesses make up a large part of the American economy. There are over 28 million small businesses in the United States, employing around half of the country's working population. Since 1982, the number of small businesses has increased by 49%. Many small business owners take on the role of marketer themselves to promote their business.
Syncing up with business mobility: A look at the capabilities and uses of fil...Carbonite
Mobile devices and virtualization have transformed traditional notions of the workplace. With greater connectedness to their IT infrastructures, workers can access digital assets from any connected device, at any time of day, and automatically disseminate changes across devices. Additionally, the ability to share files with cloud-connected colleagues facilitates collaboration without regard to geographic location, the only prerequisite being a connection to the Internet.
The increased use of mobile devices and cloud-based file services for business tasks—commonly referred to as “enterprise mobility”—is responsible for a 34% increase in worker productivity, and an additional 240 hours of work performed per worker, per year. No doubt, the upside potential resides with proper implementation. For best results, file synchronization and sharing platforms should be used for productivity and collaboration; they’re ill suited to the task of backing up critical business data.
In this white paper, we’ll highlight the key features of file synchronization and sharing platforms, and data backup for business. We’ll also examine how an all-in-one solution can support both enterprise mobility and business continuity for small and medium businesses (SMBs).
Study: Small Businesses and Data Backup MethodsCarbonite
A survey of small businesses found that 41% had lost or accidentally deleted data from their computers. The top causes of data loss were hardware or software failures (31%), accidental deletions (17%), and computer viruses (9%). In response, many small businesses back up their data using external hard drives, CDs/DVDs, or flash drives. However, 31% find existing backup methods a hassle. To address this, Carbonite developed affordable cloud backup plans starting at $229 per year to provide small businesses predictable, unlimited backup storage.

The Role of Backup in a Windows Server 2003 MigrationCarbonite
Microsoft will end extended support for Windows Server 2003 this July. Companies running Windows Server 2003 will need to migrate to a newer operating system to avoid risks and take advantage of new technologies.
This document discusses the risks of relying solely on cloud backups and the importance of hybrid protection. It notes that cloud spending is projected to reach $150 billion by 2018. While cloud adoption is high, with 80% of companies using some form of SaaS, data loss also occurs frequently, with 32% of companies losing data stored in SaaS applications. Downtime from cloud outages in 2014 cost companies thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars per hour depending on company size. The document recommends not putting all backup eggs in one cloud basket and explores a hybrid solution between on-premise and cloud backups from Carbonite for added protection.

Remote Work Readiness - A simple guide for remote work & management. Jim Reynolds
Presentation by Jim Reynolds of Socialgist (jim@socialgist.com / jimmyrey on twitter) to help coworkers, business owners, managers or anyone help understand and learn more about work from home.
Working from home (WFH) involves employees performing work remotely from their homes instead of a company office. The COVID-19 pandemic increased the need for social distancing and WFH. While initially seen as a temporary solution, WFH provides many benefits for both employers and employees such as increased productivity, lower costs, work-life balance, and morale. Key aspects of setting up successful WFH include designating a workspace, ensuring adequate technology and internet access, and using collaboration tools. WFH can be effectively implemented in industries like architecture, engineering, and construction where work is done digitally.
How the current environment has redefined 3 key aspects of work and how you can adapt and prepare for it. With the rapidly advancing severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, much of the world has been strong-armed into having to work from home. And with that what has long been an experiment by a few, popular with a small percentage of working professionals, has become a reality for most. This sudden change in the way we work has quite possibly changed the future of work for good.

Face-to-face meetings are also emphasized as a way to build personal connections within remote teams.
Working remotely as a developers before and after Covid-19Aude Barral
With the Covid-19 health crisis came profound changes in terms of remote work and organizational patterns.
How can we expect these changes to affect our work life long-term? We decided to dig further into developers’ teleworking aspirations.
In June 2020, over 2,000 developers from 94 countries across the globe, shared with us their expectations and experience when it comes to working remotely.
This document is the preface to a book on time management. It discusses how advances in technology and communication have paradoxically led to less leisure time for many people as they are expected to work and respond more quickly. It notes that past time management advice focused too much on rigid systems that did not fit every person's style and situation. The preface introduces the concept that there is no single right approach to time management and that people need to find ways of working that fit their individual strengths and preferences in order to be effective and feel in control. It provides an example comparing the computer-based and paper-based work styles of two hypothetical people, Tiffany and Jim, to illustrate that neither approach is inherently better and that people should
Telework is an emerging trend globally, with an estimated 100 million teleworkers by 2022 in the US alone. It provides benefits to both businesses and employees, including increased productivity and cost savings. However, some obstacles need to be addressed, such as lack of trust in remote employees, ensuring collaboration and interaction, implementing proper technology and security measures, and changing outdated management approaches. Overcoming these roadblocks will help more organizations realize the benefits of remote work.
Whatever makes employers so resistant to the growing phenomena that is teleworking, it’s likely that many of their fears are based on myths. In this presentation Telework Recruiting addresses several of these common myths and helps reveal the facts behind them.
This document discusses questions that working mothers should ask about workplace flexibility. It begins by noting that flexibility is becoming more common but traditional models can fall short for working moms. It then provides four questions for moms to consider: 1) Does the organization truly support flexibility? 2) How are new mothers supported? 3) Does the technology allow remote work? 4) Does the organization acknowledge personal life demands? The document advocates for flexibility in scheduling, remote work options, support for nursing mothers, and understanding of employees' personal needs and careers.

How to Knock Out Threats from Crypto-Style VirusesCarbonite
This document discusses ransomware viruses like CryptoLocker and the need for regular data backups. It notes that ransomware infections grew 500% in 2013 and describes how the viruses work by encrypting files until a ransom is paid.
