The task of navigating life's frantically paced, 24/7 digital age has never been more complex or daunting. We are all under constant pressure to perform, day in day out. So many people are wired up, but eventually melting down.
The rapid speed and intensity of modern business demands a new way of approaching performance. Armed with the latest iPhones, Blackberries and productivity gadgets, we are cramming more and more into our already jam packed schedules. Rather than running at a fast pace and then taking time out to recover, a vital strategy used by high performing teams in the sporting world, every working day now requires the stamina of a Grand Final.
Sold on the Multitasking Myth, the average worker attempts to juggle 6 or 7 tasks at a time, with 55 to 60 interruptions throughout an average working day. Inefficient email habits waste hours and hours a day, add to this inefficient meetings and is it any wonder we're starting to feel the strain?
As a result, workers are trying to find a variety of ways to stay ahead. Working until the early hours of the morning, avoiding holidays and time out, stocking up on caffeine (Cappuccino Cowboys) or loading the system with the sweet stuff (Sugar Addicts). Unfortunately most of theses 'quick fixes' overload the system even further and eventually lead to melt down. So, in today's fast paced business environment, how do High Performers continually make the distance?
The most effective approach involves the ability to Switch On when you need to and to Switch Off when you can.
