How many times per day do you pick up your cellphone? We all do it -- mindlessly scrolling through our social media news feeds when we get a free minute, glancing over at every chime and vibration our phone makes throughout the day. While this behavior isn’t unusual, it’s definitely not beneficial. New research has shown that even these small interruptions are adding up to be huge distractions, sucking up tons of valuable time in the workday and leaving us feeling stressed and overwhelmed.

Today’s guest, Jill Konrath, is a recognized sales consultant and speaker whose new book, More Sales, Less Time is all about getting more done in the time that we already have!

Episode Highlights:

  • An overview of Jill Konrath’s past books
  • What can More Sales, Less Time teach us?
  • Fighting distraction: How you can get at least one hour of your day back
  • Escaping the email trap
  • Taking a break and getting more done
  • How to leverage trigger events
