Occasionally I’ll read a tip (always more comfortable for me to say out loud than ‘life hack’) that reckons it’ll give me back ten hours a week or similar.
One that springs to mind sells the idea that flitting backwards and forwards between email, the news, Twitter, Facebook or Instagram, my phone – and my work – harms productivity and should be managed.
Is it right? I reckon so. According to Ofcom, people in the UK check their smartphones, on average, every 12 minutes of the waking day.
Leaving email to one check at lunchtime and another in the afternoon is a good idea but not practical for me most of the time, simply because of the work I do.
But there is value in committing to a particular task and seeing it through, rather than bouncing around between devices and sources of info.
