Fact Friday Revisted: Productivity & Multitasking

Here’s a little fact that I shared back in March 2009…

I have all these facts in my brain that I feel I MUST share! Actually, while I have a whole lot of stuff floating around my head, random facts or even organizing tidbits don’t always hang around for very long. None the less, I’m intrigued by stats I come across and I’ve decided to share some “did you know?” information with you on Fridays. I find them interesting and thought you might, too. Who knows, they might even motivate you to bring more order into your life.

So, here’s the first edition of “Fact Friday.”

“Workers’ productivity decreases by 20%-40%

every time they multitask or “task switch.”

Please share your own “did you know?” info because inquiring minds always want to know! Just be sure to list your source, and keep in mind that Wikipedia is publicly updated – meaning that anyone can edit it – so it’s not always recognized as legit in some circles.

That said, have a FABULOUS weekend! (for some reason, FABULOUS is my word of the week!) …this hasn’t changed…just abbreviated now in June to FABU!
