Make coming back to work after a long weekend more pleasant with this trick:
First, it's important to understand that a good bit of the return-to-work pain stems from having a to-do list that looks like it grew tenfold during our day off. Based on the tens of thousands who have taken Leadership IQ's online quizwe know that more than two-thirds of people feel like they don't have enough time to do everything they want to do. And a good dose of that comes from the majority of people having a lengthy to-do list rather than a short list of essential priorities.
Perhaps most striking is that people who have a short list of essential priorities are nearly 50% more likely to leave work feeling like"today was a really successful day" than those with lengthy to-do lists. Second, it's critical to know that about 71% of people report frequent interruptions when they're working. And even more striking is that the people who can block out interruptions are about 52% more likely to end their workday feeling like"today was a really successful day.”
While interruptions are intuitively disruptive, there's actually neurological evidence for the distress they cause. In, University of Michigan researchers found that people lost significant time when they switched from one task to another. And the more complicated the tasks, the more time was lost. So it's no surprise that the more people get interrupted, the less productive they become, and that lost productivity translates into an eroded sense of well-being.
