Distractions. Decision fatigue. Procrastination. In this Philosophy at Work talk, we discuss why it's happening and how to clear your head.

About this event

***FORA RESIDENTS, BOOK YOUR EXCLUSIVE TICKET THROUGH THE FORA APP***

We will, on average, be interrupted every six to twelve minutes with notifications, shoulder taps and calls. But these interruptions are not the only things we need to learn to switch off from for the sake of our own wellbeing and productivity.

In this session, we’ll introduce how common ‘thinking traps’ like decision fatigue and procrastination can also steal your focus, and we’ll show you how to avoid being distracted by them in the first place. You’ll leave with some meaningful exercises you can do yourself and with your team whenever you hit a block. If you’ve ever had a moment where you’ve said to yourself ‘My brain just isn’t working anymore!’ - this one’s for you.
