Looking for time to focus? Outlook Focus Plan!
Introduction
COVID-19 has caused the entire world to rethink the way we work; whether it is at the office, in an open field such as for construction or mining, or working from home (to name a few). With the latter, the lack of in-person face-to-face interaction has reciprocally increased our online meeting time by 500%!! (source: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/blog/2020/03/05/our-commitment-to-customers-during-covid-19/). In other words, if you spent 30 minutes per day in a meeting pre-COVID, you are more likely to spend about 2.5 hrs today on average. In addition, if you spread these 30 minute slots throughout the day and add other types of distraction such as phone calls, deliveries, preparing lunch or simply making yourself a snack, you might find yourself in a situation where you simply cannot focus on anything specific; especially when studies show it takes up to 20 minutes to recall where you’ve left off before being distracted. Cue right (purposely) Microsoft Outlook Insights!
