The Importance of Structuring Workdays for Engagement
Optimizing how employees manage their workdays is crucial for maintaining engagement and productivity. Research on astronauts aboard the International Space Station illustrates how structured schedules help them manage diverse tasks while maintaining their focus and health. For instance, astronauts transition between a variety of complex activities, such as scientific experiments and physical repairs, requiring them to adjust their cognitive states frequently. This suggests that organizations should consider implementing structured time blocks for tasks to minimize cognitive overload and enhance performance in less isolated work environments as well.
