> "According to a study on the cost of interrupted work, a typical office worker is interrupted every 11 minutes. Even worse, people often take up to 25 minutes to refocus on the original task."
So they're interrupted more frequently that the time it takes to refocus and therefore never complete any task?
- salvar 9y agoDid you miss the word 'often' in there?
- majewsky 9y agoSounds about right to me. /s More seriously though, that "every 11 minutes" figure is most likely an average, so there will be intervals much longer than that.
- coldtea 9y ago>So they're interrupted more frequently that the time it takes to refocus and therefore never complete any task? No, they just never complete any task while FOCUSED. They still complete tasks, but distracted, and thus in a sub-par and slower way.
