Focus

Exercise supports brain function in 5 ways

Research states that social media usage negatively affects task performance and negatively affects happiness.

Blocking online distractions can improve focus and productivity.

Light physical activity before the end of the workday is related to increased work focus.

This research suggests that employees — from IT professionals to health care providers are interrupted from their work every 6 – 12 minutes.

Studies consistently show that multitasking is inefficient.

Shifting between tasks can cost you up to 40% of productive time.

A University of California study found that after each interruption it takes over 23 minutes to refocus.

Chronic multitaskers perform worse on core multitasking skills: memory management, cognitive filtering and task switching, likely due to their inability to filter irrelevant stimuli.
