Your Cell Phone Is Killing Your Productivity, But Not for the Reason You Think

Your Cell Phone Is Killing Your Productivity, But Not for the Reason You Think OK, so you know not to use your phone while you drive, but your phone distracts you way more than you realize, and it’s hurting your productivity even if you never rear-end a fellow commuter because you’re trying to answer a text. Unfortunately, even if you’re diligent about avoiding the siren song of that chime or ringtone that indicates a call or message, just hearing the notification is enough to derail you, the researchers find. “Although these notifications are generally short in duration, they can prompt task-irrelevant thoughts, or mind-wandering,” they write. “Mobile phones can disrupt attention performance even if one does not interact with the device.” It’s a tough balance. For many of us, our cell phones are a lifeline to our non-work lives when we’re toiling away during the day. We want to be reachable in case of an emergency, but the constant stream of notifications is death by paper cuts to our productivity. In a new study in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, researchers found that experiment subjects performing a task that required intense focus performed poorly when they received notification of a text or call on their phone during the experiment. When the notifications broke their concentration, the subjects had more incorrect answers and were more likely to make rapid guesses. Subjects who received notification of a call â€" even if they didn’t pick it up â€" were three times likelier to make mistakes. The researchers had subjects â€" who didn’t know the point of the experiment â€" use their own phones, which they say made it more likely a notification would be distracting, since the subjects were expecting those interruptions to be personally relevant. The reason for these results is that, in spite of all the multitasking we do, our brains aren’t really that good at it. We only have so much attention we can devote at a given moment, and more tasks mean that our concentration is divided. According to the researchers, even though the actual moment of interruption from a phone notification is brief, it disrupts our thoughts for a considerably longer period, making it tough to get back on track. Maybe you’re wondering who it is, or maybe you think of someone it could be and remember that you need to tell them something. Suddenly, you’re down the mental rabbit hole and your concentration is shot. Researchers call the degree of distraction “shocking,” with error rates about the same as if subjects actually had answered the call or text, according to findings of other research about phone-related distracted driving to which the researchers compared their findings. In the paper, the researchers points out this discovery could have implications for efforts like “don’t text and drive” campaigns, which just say you shouldn’t view or answer texts or calls, not that you should silence your phone entirely. (That’s actually the researchers’ next project: Seeing if just getting a notification while behind the wheel impairs your driving.) “These findings highlight the need to adopt a broader view of cellular phone related distraction,” they write.

9 Tips For Becoming A Successful Networker - Work It Daily

9 Tips For Becoming A Successful Networker - Work It Daily How To Be A Successful Networker What's the secret to being a successful networker? Well, we all know how important it is to balance the online and offline networking and connecting what we are doing now. RELATED: The Jimmy Fallon Effect: 10 Qualities Of Great Networkers We can’t only live online, or offline anymore. Each one is mutually interdependent and inter-related. They work so well in tandem. Both have their importance, purpose and value. We know being “online” is simply smart and essential because that is where people converge, gather and interact. But, “offline” is where the true personal connections are made to explore the mutuality and develop the relationship. If you are not in physical proximity with someone, what are some of the ways and things you can do to accelerate relationship building? Are you meeting, picking up the phone or Skyping regularly when you make new social friends? How To Be A Successful Networker Here are nine things you can do that will help you develop some warm connections, stand out, and be remembered. 1. Share Your Passion, Authenticity, And Story People really connect with your real side and everyone has a story. It’s the new “elevator pitch.” 2. Target Your Audience Learn about the community where you are meeting. Research and find out about them on websites, blogs and through others that may know about them, or are members of the group. 3. Know The Guest List When you know some specific people that will be there, that you will want to meet, do your homework and find out about them. Company, awards, community activity, accomplishments. This is great fodder for conversation. How would you feel when someone you didn’t know yet, approaches you and says, “I loved the blog post you wrote on how to be a Mom and grow a business”? It certainly says something to me about them. 4. Work The Room Mix and mingle, and try to have several warm interactions. Don’t monopolize or be monopolized. Engage and encourage mutual conversation and include others into it. 5. Pair Up With A Mentor Find someone who knows the crowd and group and rely on them to introduce you around. Coming with someone others know and respect says something about you. “You are judged by the company you keep,” is the quote isn’t it? 6. Set Goals Have goals for what you want to accomplish and come out of the experience with: five warm connections, new friends, someone you can refer business to. 7. Be Inclusive Be inclusive and see how making connections for others makes sense both at the event and after. I have been amazed at how encouraging commonality and synergy can work with complimentary businesses. 8. Ask HCIHY (How Can I Help You?) This is the new benchmark for networking. Not what can I sell you, but how can I serve you. “Serving is the new Selling.” When people know you are in it for the right reasons and motives, the relationship naturally grows. Building trust, by freely sharing knowledge and being who you say you are takes time. Invest and commit to it with people you feel good potential with and demonstrate a mutuality with you. 9. Follow Up Follow up promptly and with purpose with those warm connections you made. Lunch, coffee, guest blog, mentor, referral, Skype, phone call, collaboration, link swap are only a few reasons to reach out and continue. Relationships take time, effort and commitment. Some grow, some go, but you won’t know which until you take the actions. Networking is a natural extension of all our interactions and communications today. We are pretty much networking all the time now aren’t we? What are some of the successful ways you have used in your networking? This post was originally published on an earlier date.
