From The Desk Of: Amy Twain
If you answer YES then it means only one thing: you're so hooked to
today's modern technology that you're like a drug addict going through
withdrawals if you don't have your daily fix of it.
You're probably going to say that comparing you to a drug addict is a
little harsh and that you're not like them.
Well let's see:
* Can't go without logging online and checking email.
* Jumps the gun checking his or her cell phone whenever he or she
hears a tone.
* Is beside himself if he can't "connect" with what is going on at
work.
* Can't stay focused on the job because he or she's thinking about
the next tweet.
I dunno . . . it probably is just me but that sure sound like
something an addict would do. Face it, you have an addiction. An
addiction to being distracted by today's technology.
You live it, you crave it, you can't get enough of it - to the point
of bringing your cell phone with you even when you go to the bathroom.
Don't laugh, you probably done that.
Technological Distractions Eats Time
Believe it or not we can spend up to half our day using technology,
especially with the easy availability of smart phones. But it's not
just technology that is only to blame.
Social networking can is also a major headache what with many people
forgetting that there is a fine line between their personal and
professional lives.
Some have even been dismissed for posting about something about work
on their personal blog page, something referred to as either being
"Facebook Fired" or "Twerminated."
The thing is we are all guilty of being technologically distracted.
Collectively, even using sites such as Facebook and Twitter for half
an hour can result in millions, if not billions, of dollars in lost
productivity. That's productivity that can never be recovered no
matter how hard one tries.
Many companies have resorted to blocking access to these internet
based distractions except for a few exceptions. While it may work many
of those affected still feel that it has had no negative impact on
their work.
Are You Juggling Technology?
You Can Control Yourself
It doesn't need your company to tell you that these distractions are
lowering your productivity. After all, you've probably noticed that
you're not able to finish a lot of your projects.
You've also noticed that work seem to be piling up even though, as far
as you can remember, you've been on your computer for pretty much the
whole day.
Perhaps if you have been doing work on your computer as opposed to
surfing and going to social networking sites you would be able to
finish your task.
You need to control your own compulsions and stop yourself from doing
these distracting things. The internet may beckon but unless you have
finished your job you should not be playing around.
Yes the post was pretty funny but do you have to make a comment now?
Commenting later does not diminish the fact that you found it funny.
That's why you need to turn off the smart phones and block your access
to distracting websites even if you have to use any means to do this.
It's for you're own good.
Why Am I Saying All These Things To You
Because I don't want you to fall behind not only at work but also in
your social and family obligations as well. Being "Facebook Fired" or
"Twerminated" may sound funny but it's not if it happens to you.
You don't want that and neither does your family and those who depend
on you to finish what you're supposed to do.
I know, I've been there and I know just how much these distractions
can take out of your work, especially when you have a deadline coming
up.
You don't have to take my word for it - I'm sure you've seen other
people go through that and you may have experienced it yourself.
It is because of this that I wrote "Surviving Modern Living," a guide
on how one can survive in today's modern world full of technological
distractions.
I based it on my own experience, the experience of people I have
talked to and on studies that have been done concerning the effects of
technology in workplace efficiency and productivity.
To Whom Is This Work For?
It's for those people who know they have a problem and want to do
something about it.
THIS IS NOT FOR PEOPLE WHO STILL THINK THEY'RE GREAT OR FOR THOSE WHO
WANT AN INSTANT SOLUTION.
What I am offering right here, is information and knowledge that can
help you understand what you need to do and gives you the process on
how you should go about doing it.
It will take a lot from you and you may even give up every now and
then but with this guide you have a road map on what you can do to not
be distracted by technology anymore.
I Can Be There With You Not in the physical sense but I can be there
in spirit - to help you transition from technology dependence to
technology independence.
Unfortunately there are just some things we can't overcome - like the
geographical distance for example and the fact that there is just one
of me.
"Surviving Modern Living" is the guide you need to move from
distraction to focus.
* Understand what we are so busy about
* Understand that there is an alternative to busyness
* Learn that in order to create you must not be distracted
* Understand the importance of disconnecting
* Learn how to disconnect
* Understand that you don't have to respond to everything
* Learn the benefits of slowing down
* Learning what tools you can use to block the distractions
* Learning how to establish your distraction free environment
We Waste 20-Minutes Of Every Hour
And that's just to take care of those small, unimportant distractions
like answering a text message or reading what turns out to be an
unimportant email.
Then it takes time to simply get back to what you were doing before
you got distracted.
Dr. Edward Hallowell On How Technology Controls Us
Psychologist and author Dr. Edward Hallowell, M.D. specializes in the
various degrees of attention deficit disorder. He's written on the
subject especially on ADD at work.
". . . everybody has allowed themselves to be over committed . . .
like a 16-year old who just gets his drivers license, he wants to
drive even if he has no place to go . . ."
In this video he gives strategies on coping with too many digital
distractions throughout your work day:
* Slow down
* ID the problem
* Control the technology, not the other way around
* Cut back on technological temptations.
1. Regain control of your life and not follow the whim of your
technological overloads like your smart phone
2. Be able to better focus work when you're at work, and on your
social life or family when you're not at work.
3. Be able to "take or leave" technology because you don't "need it"
anymore
More importantly you will be able to become more productive and as a
result find that you have more time for yourself because you have
finished what you're supposed to do.
You will also be able to relax and maintain your sanity because you
won't be running around like a chicken with its head cut off.
Smash Technology's Control Over You
Get Rid Of More Than Just The Technology Not only do you get rid of
your dependence of technology you also deal with the following:
* Stress brought about by not being able to finish things
* Stress brought about by the looming deadlines
* Sleepless nights wondering why you weren't able to finish what you
started
* Sleepless nights wondering what you could have done differently
* Sleepless nights trying to figure out why your day ran out so fast
* Trying to explain to your boss why you still haven't finished the
work he assigned a week ago
* Trying to explain to your spouse why you have to reply to a text
message from work even when you're having a romantic dinner
* Trying to hide from the dagger stares from the other diners having
their dinner disturbed by your smart phone ringing
* Being caught posting something about work in your Facebook personal
account
* Worrying about being fired because of what you posted in your
Facebook account during work.
Once you get over these worries you're life will begin to get better
and rosy looking.
Get Free From Technology And Have Less Stress
Technology Is For You To Use
Not the other way around.
Your smart phone is not there to tell you that you need to answer it -
you still decide, as its owner, whether you want to answer the phone
or not.
And just because email can be sent and received instantly doesn't mean
you have to reply to it instantly, especially if you still have work
to do - besides 99% of the time it would be unimportant anyway.
Taking back control of your life from the distractions of technology
is important - this guide is for you if you want that.
Get Your Work Done
You won't be able to if you are constantly being distracted by all
that technology.
Give them a rest and give yourself a break from their control so you
can get back to more important things - like finishing your work.
Once you finish your work you'll find that you will have all the time
in the world to get distracted as much as you can.
