BSO, FOMO and SQUIRREL!! – How to stop an addictive brain…

Bernadette McClelland - 4 February 2018

We’ve all been there. We’ve all experienced something that takes our mind off what we are doing. Whether it is an email ping, a quick question from around the water-cooler, or even this article.
The Dilemma of Attention Deficit.
And I do believe we are all at risk of becoming attention deficit if we are not careful. Over 2,000 managers and over 3,000 full time workers, across a variety of industries and company sizes, were surveyed by Harris Poll as just one example, as to where their distractions came from and what percentage of time was impacted. The results showed:
38% of employees were distracted by social media
23% from email
39% said being on the Internet and
50% on the mobile and texting
What is that doing to business productivity and results? is one question we might ask. But another is what is it doing to each of us and how is it preparing us for the future?
