Due to constant distraction, temptation and impulsivity, our attention span has reduced down less than that of the goldfish. It is time to worry. During our breaks we don’t rest and recover, we further stimulate which increases the level of distraction and impulse to further distract. It is a viscous cycle.

To make matters worse, it isn’t only the distractions that keep us from our attention but also when we do routine jobs and activities, we go into auto-pilot also letting our guard down and not paying attention. Auto pilot is just as much a risk as impulsive distractions.

In this session, we create a heighted awareness around the problem, the costs and implications and solutions to break the pattern of distractions and take back our focus.
