55 Wellesley St E, Auckland
What's it all about?
Do you struggle to answer the question, “What have I actually achieved today?”
Do you get side-tracked by incoming emails or messages?
Do you “quickly” check your social media feed – only to realise you’ve spent 30 minutes watching cat videos?
We can help!
Join us to hear about the latest AUT research on how to harness technology to improve your focus and defeat distraction at work and at home.
In this one-hour, interactive workshop, we will share new evidence and explore:
☑️ The myth of multitasking
☑️ Managing the email flood
☑️ The Pomodoro technique
☑️ The power of a break
☑️ Reducing distractions
☑️ The technology vacuum
☑️ Making the most of working remotely
We won’t just talk about how to become more focused; we will also offer a mini challenge where you can apply what we have learned in our session.
We can’t wait to meet you at the event and become hyper-focused together!
