Breakout 2C: The Mirage of Multitasking: Finding Your Focus, Flow & Finish Line

Sign up or log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

Studies show that our brains aren’t built for multitasking. When we constantly juggle various cognitive tasks, we experience decreased productivity, impaired cognitive ability, increased stress and diminished creativity–all of which reduce us to fractions of the effective professionals we are capable of being. Many professionals surrender to a frantic and unfocused work style out of the belief that there is no other way. The modern-day workplace simply demands us to function in this manner, right? Wrong. In this course, you will learn how to recognize and squash your multitasking tendencies and recalibrate your approach to work. By setting clear priorities, increasing your focus, managing your time and effort, reducing physical and mental clutter, executing on what matters most, and giving yourself space to be innovative, you can elevate your performance and put yourself on the path to greater productivity. Led by: Scott Blades, M.Ed., assistant director of UF Training & Organization Development
