The importance of focus has never been greater than it is today. Or seemingly harder to achieve. The technology we enjoy allows us unprecedented productivity through easy access to information, ideas, and individuals. It also has the undesired effect of overwhelming us with too much information and fracturing our focus.
We live in the age of distraction - where the steady and abundant input from multiple devices, programs, apps and social media connections turns into a fog of distraction.
Taking breaks to recharge and refocus the mind is important for everyone, but for introverts, in particular, occasional pauses are crucial to maintaining productivity and positive well-being at work. According to Cain, an introvert is likely to feel overwhelmed and ultimately burned out if he or she is dealing with constant environmental stimulants and digital distractions.
Through a highly engaging and experiential workshop, learn why we are so easily distracted, what’s going on inside our brain, what’s at stake if we don’t manage this and a variety of simple techniques to better manage our focus at work and in life.
