What is the one goal you have in mind when entering the office in the morning? To get work done. What is often the last thing you are able to finish? The things you have planned for the day. If this scenario is something that you have recently encountered, then its time to beat procrastination and look for solutions. In order to find the underlining reasons people don't get the right work done, Weekdone (https://weekdone.com) analysed different studies. Turns out, you spend a lot of time and effort to get work done. Yet, it's often something that demands more attention and energy than originally thought of. Why? One of the reasons might be that 28% of time spent at work goes to dealing with unnecessary interruptions. According to Wall Street Journal #research, on average, office workers are interrupted every 3 minutes. What is worse, getting back to the previous work mode takes much more time. According to Office of National Statistics, getting back on task takes 23 minutes. So, how to get work done? You need to make time for work that matters and eliminate the distractions.
