CONTEXT SWITCHING: We are all guilty of it. We check our social media, click over to our email inboxes, review our digital task lists, and fire up our operating system. And that’s just within half an hour.
This bouncing around between different tasks, tools, and resources is called context switching, and it’s how we spend a lot of our time.
Context switching — no bueno for productivity.
A recent study from the University of California, Irvine concluded that after only 20 minutes of context switching people reported feeling significantly higher stress, frustration, workload, effort, and pressure.
Which is a problem, since we’re constantly interrupted by persistent pings, but it doesn’t have to be that way.
One thing we do at Beyond Paralegals, LLC to avoid the stress of context switching; is we created a command center to centralize all our app and tools. This simple act made information, communication, collaboration, and workflows accessible in a single tool.
Hint: If you are currently paying for a MS365 subscription look no further than SharePoint as a platform to consolidate your tools.
The SharePoint of today is nothing like its pioneer in 2001. Today’s SharePoint is more secure, intuitive, scalable, collaborative, customizable, and leads to reduced costs in day-to day business operations.
