Dealing with Information Overload and Loss of Focus


Summary
According to Microsoft's latest annual study on workplace-productivity trends, "the average employee spent 57% of their time using office software for communication—in meetings, email, chat." In a 2022 Inbox Intelligence Report by Gated, "62% of people agree that it’s hard to focus because of digital distractions and... 82% of people miss important emails because there is too much in their inbox."
This information overload has real meaningful consequences. This conversation will explore the form that information overload takes for participants and their organizations, its consequences, and the strategies they implement to cope with it.
