Keynote topic #2
Focused
Many people believe that performance is about quantity. The number of emails they respond to, the number of meetings they attend, the number of tasks they achieve. Not at all. Performance is first and foremost about quality and focus.
Remember a time when you blocked an hour on something only to realise how little you did during this time. You got distracted by a few emails, interrupted by a few people, and found it hard to progress what you were doing.
Now remember a time when you spend 25mn on a task, 25mn of high focus with no interruptions, no distractions. May be you got to the office before anyone else, or stay later when everyone was gone, or worked from home. And you realised how incredibly productive you were during these 25mn.
Increase your performance and well being by learning some simple and practical ways to be more focused.
