Operating on reflex reaction all day drives stress and undermines focus, analysis, complex decision-making, and effective performance. Luckily, there is a lot of great science showing the negative impact of crazy-busy behaviors and how we can do better. Here are some of the findings:
• Time frenzy and time urgency, which all Type A's have, turns on System 1 thinking -- rash, impulsive, jump-off-the-cliff
• Interruptions reduce primary task performance (Cutrell, Czerwinski)
• Productivity can drop 50% and more from multitasking (Meyer)
• An interruption of 2.8 seconds doubles mistakes, while an interruption of 4.4 seconds triples errors (Altman, Trafton, Hambrick)
• Distractions and intrusions increase anxiety and annoyance 106% (Bailey, Konstan), which drives stress and emotional reactions
