Dear MEL Topic Readers,
How to escape the “hyperactive hivemind” of modern work
If you take a factory tour, you’ll find that any task taker, whether a human or robot, is engaged in one task at a time. Most factories are designed to produce maximum outputs from their capacity. Their performance and efficiency are constantly monitored, adjusted and improved because the processes are visible, tangible and measurable. However, such efficiency control and management are hardly seen especially in the offices where people work for creative tasks like software engineers or designers. Since their tasks are fulfilled by human intelligence, concentration is the key to productivity. Some people may seem to have the capacity to handle multitasks at once, but that is not always true as human brains have a limited capacity to perform efficiently at a given time. Also, each time a job is interrupted, it takes some time, in some cases over 20 minutes, to get the brain refocused on the task that had been worked on.
So, if you want yourself or your workers to improve productivity, it is essential to reduce disruptions. After all, it is the output that matters. And doing things one at a time may look slower but seems more efficient.
Enjoy reading the article and rethink how creative or productive you are when you are deeply focused.
