Productivity Killers

What distracts you?

For me, it’s the news alerts that appear on my cellphone screen many times a day. Or an email that may just be very important. Or suddenly remembering that I forgot to do something on my to-do list.

Yeah … it’s a lot of things. But I’m not alone: As reported by the National Business Research Institute, the top five office productivity killers are cell phones, the internet, gossip, social media, and email. And 85% of employers report needing to increase productivity.

Working more won’t help — as soon as we hit 50 hours a week, output starts to decline, yet 40% of people report working more. But all hope isn’t lost. The infographic below from ResourcefulManager outlines common productivity killers and strategies for doing more in less time.

Happy Tuesday & Happy Selling!
