How to Get Work Done in a Distracted World: Decreasing Distractions - Melissa Spoelstra

The distraction culture of constant texts, calls, and emails can keep us from deep work. The urgent can crowd out the important goals and dreams we often relegate to the back burner: the prayer life we long to develop or the new ministry plan we want to design. Time is the only commodity we can’t get back! This seminar will help you identify common distractions and excuses that keep you from getting important work done and develop useful strategies and habits for prioritising tasks and organising your day.

Part 1: In this session, we identify the distractions and excuses that prevent us from accomplishing our God-given work. We work through some practical conversations to help us decrease distractions and focus on making progress in our daily rhythms. By creating large chunks of time, knowing our green zones, prioritizing tasks, decluttering digitally, and practicing a hard shutdown at day’s end, we can implement small changes that yield big results in decreasing distractions.
