Technology is integral in modern business, driving efficiency and competitive advantage. However, its overuse can negatively impact productivity and human connection. The reliance on technology leads to cognitive skill decline and fragmented communication. Leaders often believe that technology enhances productivity, but studies reveal that the average professional experiences only seven hours of focused work in a week. This highlights the paradox of technology, where the intent to enhance work can inadvertently hinder deep, uninterrupted productivity while undermining workplace culture.
We're so 'connected' that we've become fragmented. We're so efficient we've forgotten how to think critically. We rely so much on technology that our cognitive skills are in decline.
Most professionals only get about seven hours of true focus time in a 47-hour work week. Seven hours. That's one good day of deep, uninterrupted work buried in a week full of buzzing phones.
