Productivity mindset
We have never been more distracted
COMPANIES THAT USE DARREN
Our Tools distract us
The tools we use for work are designed to attract our attention. Alerts, notifications and instant access to a vast amount of information now at our fingertips all call for our attention. Every time we respond we get a small dopamine hit.
While many of these tools have their benefits, we have lost our ability to focus.
Do you see teams struggling to finish work on time and productivity dropping?
Do the ongoing human errors and little mistakes that can quickly escalate into bigger issues cause you concern?
Are your teams as engaged and as happy as they could be?
Our brain craves dopamine, and the quick hits from completing tasks in apps feed this craving. However, this constant need for instant gratification destroys true productivity. Our focus shatters with each micro-task, causing us to lose sight of the big picture. We make more mistakes, and the fleeting happiness of task completion isn't tied to meaningful work. This insidious decline in productivity costs businesses millions daily as we chase short-term wins over long-term success.
visuals are enough to trigger distract
Even if we put our phone in the other room we are still distracted by the thought of it. Every time we see someone checking their phone our mirror neurones fire to drive us to check ours. This is distraction; it kills productivity.
Simply thinking of a phone is enough to make us want to check it - you may be feeling that sensation now. That causes mistakes to creep in.
Even if our phone is in the other room we know we will eventually go and check it…it’s just a matter of time. And while we are holding off checking it, we are distracted by the thought of checking. This happens to everyone all the time. This causes stress.
It’s not just phones. Computers, iPads and other devices have been designed to distract us, all the time.
It’s time we reclaimed our attention and our ability to focus.

Leaders don’t follow through because they are in overwhelm. They are distracted by other tasks.
