The Interruption Crisis - an Evening with Nora Simpson

  • 1700 Broadway, 11th Floor New York, NY 10019 United States (map)

As technology drives hyper-connectivity and the "always-on" work attitude, Americans are becoming more stressed out, more burnt out, and less productive every year. In 2019, American office workers lost 4 to 6 hours of productivity PER DAY. In addition, the constant distraction of technology is lowering cognitive performance and emotional health across the workforce. Research shows that one 2.2 second distraction doubles error rates. A 4.8 second distraction triples error rates. Even the presence of a turned OFF smartphone in plain sight can lower performance by 11%.

Distractions that graduate to interruptions cause more problems. On average, American workers are interrupted every 7-9 minutes at work. Research also shows that it takes an average of 32 minutes to bring focus back to the original interrupted task.

So what do we do? What CAN we do? Nora Simpson combines the latest research with her proprietary neuroscience-based tools that create joyful, focused attention on demand. In this training, you will learn neuroscience-based tools to BREAK THROUGH our society-wide interruption crisis and put yourself, your colleagues, and your loved ones on the path of joyful, effective productivity at work and fruitful human connection at home.
