From Distracted to Productive: Finding Your Focus in a Hyper-Interrupted, e-Distracted World (4-hour PM session) - LOCATION CHANGE
Wednesday, June 8, 2022 | 1:00 pm - 4:30 pm
MSU Management Education Center Troy, MI
Course # 128088 | by Randall Dean Consulting & Training, LLC
What you will learn

Participants will learn about the costs (both financial and emotional/mental) of "hyper-distraction" and e-distraction, and then will learn techniques for finding more clarity and focus each and every day. This program will help reduce common distractions and thus open up time for higher-level projects and performance.

Description

E-mail. Texts. Interruptions. Phone Calls. Project Transitions. Office Clutter. Social and Other Media. Smart Phones and Apps. Even Family and Friends. These common distractions make it almost impossible to get anything done, especially for those of us now "working from home" or hybrid, as well as those heading back to the office. It seems like there is always SOMETHING getting in the way of what you really need to do. But with some forethought and effective strategies, as well as some discipline, it is possible to find your focus, even in a hyper-distracted world. We'll have a fun time sharing "game plan" ideas for getting and keeping your distractions under control, and finding critical "focused productivity time" every day, leading to both performance but also clarity of mind and purpose. And, this program is now "audience flexed" - the speaker will poll the audience at the start of the program to find out YOUR biggest distractions, and will customize the content accordingly.

Prerequisites:
None

Advanced Preparation:
A week before you will receive a couple of articles to read in advance of this course

  • More effectively dealing with unexpected interruptions (phone calls, "stop by's", texts) and project transitions to maintain "traction" and reduce distraction (including now at "work from home and hybrid")
  • Reducing the e-distraction of computers, second monitors, smart phones, tablets, social media, news feeds, streaming programs, and apps (and enhanced productivity tips for these same devices)
  • A discussion on what really happens when people try to "Multitask" and perhaps a better idea for managing the start of your day and your work/information through the day for higher productivity, more focus, and less distraction.
