HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU SPEND ON DEDICATED TASKS?
QUESTION OF THE DAY
According to Forrester research, we tend to spend excessive time on redundant tasks, with only 18 percent of our day dedicated to focused task delivery. We constantly switch between 8 applications on average and need to refocus our mind, which takes anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes.
Looking at the graphics above - how much time do you invest in dedicated work?
It’s estimated that the mental block created by the constant application switching and work on redundant tasks reduces productivity by 40 percent.
To address this, companies need to enable a focused work culture, eliminate unnecessary waste, and motivate workers to contribute more directly to business outcomes. The emerging answer to this challenge is Enterprise Collaborative Work Management. It combines the best of project and task management with social collaboration, cost-of-work monitoring, real-time profitability, and time-utilization tracking to give workers and business leaders complete visibility of the lifecycle of work across the company.
