You're ‘Wasting Your Time' on These 3 Habits at Work—Here's What to Do Instead, Says Work Expert |
If you're working from home, all – if not most – of your communication is likely online, whether it be through email, Slack or another platform. While you might feel productive responding to messages as soon as they hit your inbox, you're stealing time from more important work.
Instead, Kornick recommends scheduling three 30-minute"check-in time blocks" to check your messages during work."By putting a fence around your online communications, emails won't stretch and take over every single minute of your day," she adds.
She continues:"You might sit down with every intention of focusing, but all of a sudden you remember that you're out of toilet paper, so you pop over to Amazon to order some toilet paper, and then you remember that your mom's birthday is coming up, so you order her a gift. Soon, you've done so many small tasks that have just popped into your head that you've missed that window of focus before your next meeting.
asked more than 600 remote employees what their biggest distraction is while working from home and 56% said their phone. We've all been there: You get up from your desk for five minutes to stretch and check your phone, then 30 minutes pass and you've fallen down a TikTok rabbit hole.
