Driven to distraction by technology
I just read a fascinating article on how addiction to technology and interruptions sap productivity. A few interesting quotes:
- “The typical office worker is interrupted every three minutes by a phone call, e-mail, instant message or other distraction. The problem is that it takes about eight uninterrupted minutes for our brains to get into a really creative state.”
- “The paradox of modern life is that multitasking is, in most cases, counterproductive.”
