Workplace expert Gloria Mark has discovered the average worker switches tasks every three minutes, and, once distracted, takes nearly a half-hour to resume the original task. We take our distractions home, too, spending time with our family, only to think about everything that happened at work today and what's about to happen tomorrow.
The remedy is to identify and control distractions. A typical office worker turns to e-mail more than 50 times a day and uses instant-messaging 77 times, according to Seattle-based computer-productivity consultant RescueTime. The most common suggestion idea is to pull the plug on electronic devices.
In her book, "Distracted: The Erosion of Attention and the Coming Dark Age," author Maggie Jackson writes, "If we jump on every e-mail message or ping, we'll have trouble pursuing our long-term goals. To make inroads on the deep, messy work of life, we need to stay focused."
