Manage Your Decisions, Attention, and Energy
Decision Overload
Information overload is sabotaging our productivity.
We used to make only a few high-value decisions each day, but with unlimited information and instant communication, we’re now forced to make decisions all day long. We don’t stop to consider the value of the decisions, we just react. The most important decisions pass us by.
Attention Is Under Attack
The average office worker gets only three minutes of work time before being distracted. Our brains are wired for distraction, and the ability to think is overwritten by the need to react. We’ve moved from the age of physical labor to mental labor. Now, just as we need our minds the most, our ability to think is under attack.
Low Energy Crisis
The pressure to make good decisions while our attention is under attack is exhausting. We come to work burned out and disengaged. We’re not able to give our best, even though we want to.
