Hyper focus – How to stay focused in an age of distraction!

In an age of distractions, learn how to become more focused and productive at work and more present in your private life!

Do you struggle to answer the question, “What have I actually achieved today?”

Do you get side-tracked by incoming emails or messages?

Do you “quickly” check your social media feed – only to realise you’ve spent 30 minutes watching cat videos?

We can help!

Join us to hear about the latest AUT research on ubiquitous connectivity and digital wellbeing and learn how to harness technology to improve your focus, productivity and sense of wellbeing.

In this one-hour, interactive workshop, we will share new evidence and explore:

-       The myth of multitasking

-          Managing the email flood

-          The Pomodoro technique

-          The power of a break

-          Reducing distractions

-          The technology vacuum

-          Making the most of working remotely

We won’t just talk about how to become more focused; we will also have a little five-minute challenge where you can apply what we have learned in our session.

We can’t wait to meet you at the event and become hyper-focused together!
