Description

Driven to Distraction at Work: A Practical Guide to Focus and Productivity. Feeling overwhelmed by non-stop demands and technology can take a toll on performance and well-being. Dr. Ned Hallowell, a leading expert on ADD and ADHD, identifies the underlying reasons why people lose their ability to focus at work. He explains that commonly offered solutions like "learn to manage your time better" or "make a to-do list" don't work because they ignore the deeper issues driving mental distraction. Dr. Hallowell provides a set of practical techniques to help you sustain a productive mental state. He identifies six common ways people lose focus at work, including screen sucking, multitasking, and worrying, and explains the underlying psychological and emotional dynamics driving each behavior. Part 2 of the book offers advice on "training" your attention overall, so that you are less susceptible to distraction in any situation. By understanding and addressing these common syndromes, you can clear a path for achieving your highest personal and professional goals.
