Hello and welcome to the productivity smarts podcast on "10 Tips for Improving Your Focus and Concentration". We all know how crucial it is to maintain focus and Concentration while working on goals and adjusting to change within our organizations. However, with so many distractions and competing priorities, it can be challenging to stay focused.   According to an article published by Harvard Business Review, "Based on over a half-century of cognitive science and more recent studies on multitasking, we know that multitaskers do less and miss information. It takes time (an average of 15 minutes) to re-orient to a primary task after a distraction, such as an email. Efficiency can drop by as much as 40%. Long-term memory suffers and creativity — a skill associated with keeping in mind multiple, less common, associations — is reduced."   A Symphony of Choices: https://amzn.to/3Keq3zx   Growth Strategies: https://productivityintelligenceinstitute.com/mastermind/   KIVA: It's a loan, not a donation Kiva is a loan, not a donation, allowing you to cycle your money and create a personal impact worldwide. https://www.kiva.org/lender/topmindshelpingtopminds   Connect with Gerald: https://www.linkedin.com/in/geraldjleonard   Free Productivity Smarts Weekly Evaluation Worksheet https://go.productivityintelligenceinstitute.com/productivity-smarts-worksheet   Every Goal Is A Project, and Everyone Is A Project Manager worksheet https://go.productivityintelligenceinstitute.com/every-goal-is-a-project   Learn more at www.productivitysmartspodcast.com   By asking engaging questions that encourage your feedback and input, we want to understand our audience better and create content that resonates with you.
