The Silent Productivity Killer
The podcast discusses the concept of attention residue, which refers to the cognitive cost of shifting attention from one task to another. This residue impairs cognitive performance on the new task, causing distractions and decreased productivity. The research shows that even micro task switches, like checking emails or Slack messages, can have a negative impact. This effect is especially pronounced in remote work settings, where distractions from online sources are readily available. The podcast emphasizes the importance of minimizing attention residue to optimize work quality and efficiency.
