Interruptions : A $588 Billion/Year Loss (only in U.S.)

A task that's interrupted can 

  • Take 50% longer
  • Have 50% more mistakes

Even though, getting into the focused state takes a while but once we are in it, the productive flow is really enjoyable & fulfilling! 

DID YOU KNOW?!?

* A "Got a minute?" (or interruption), on average takes 23 mins. to get back to the original task & another 30 mins. to return to the fully productive flow state.

* Frequent task switching also known to significantly increase stress levels (vs. single handling).

Your Focus is Ultimate Priority!

Your Focus is Ultimate Priority!

Frequent interruptions can rarely get you to enter a fulfilling & enjoyable state of productive flow!

Therefore, Highly productive people always guard themselves against interruptions as they know the importance of working in uninterrupted blocks of time for a focused productive flow!

If somebody wants to interrupt when you are in a productive flow, you could ask them to use this rule of thumb:

"Is what you have to share, so urgent & important that it's worth erasing all the work I've done in the past hour?!?"

Don’t look further if you love learning new things. A refreshing concept that provides quick ideas for busy thought leaders.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Shankul Varada

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Ghazala Begum
