Feb 22 Day 28 How do you stay focused?

Some days you focus and some days you don't.

Even on the days when you are totally focused on your goals and tasks for the day, there are interruptions.

How do you handle all the little things that distract you from the task at hand?

Do you turn off your phone, or notifications on your phone, so you can get a power hour of work accomplished without interruption?

And, what about employees using their phones at work? Is that something you have addressed, or is it left to the employees, so long they get their work done?

Nowadays, many workplaces communicate by phone throughout the workplace. In that case, how can you know if the employees are also taking too much time for personal messaging, and is it slowing down productivity because they aren't focused on their jobs?

It is clear that technology is here to stay. How can we help future generations learn to use the resources they have for better communication and work practices rather than just for social needs?

Maybe the better question is, how can we all learn to focus both at work and socially without being dependent on our devices?
