With all of the technology available (especially when sheltering at home), we often wonder why we are not getting more done in a day.  Take a moment to consider where you work and you may have some answers.  Do you recognize any of these techno-habits?

  • You leave the Facebook, Outlook, phone alert on so that you can answer immediately.
  • You check email every 15 minutes or more.
  • You check email right after a phone call.
  • You answer the phone during dinner.
  • You text back and forth with team members throughout the day.
  • You answer emails right away, even if you are supposed to be working on the phone.
  • The TV is on and you occasionally sit down to watch a couple of minutes of something that catches your eye.
  • You check email while you are on the phone.

All of these habits have been proven to reduce productivity.

Here are some new habits that may help.

  • When you are making time for phone work, turn your computer off or at least turn off the “alerts”.
  • Set specific times to check email.
  • Set time limits for as many activities as you can.
  • Set office hours that work for your business and your family.
  • Honor others by listening to them instead of reading emails or interrupting family time with calls.
  • Turn the TV off – if you need “noise” turn on music.

Technology was created to support us in our everyday lives.  Ask yourself often, am I being effective or efficient. Turn off the technological noise so that you can be present in each moment.  You’ll be more effective, more efficient, and happier with the results.

It is better to work on the right things then just do things right.

What will work for you as a new tech habit?
