Workplace and personal productivity
How can you become more productive without a proper understanding of your working habits? If I asked you how much time you spend on emails, you probably would guess a quantity lower than the real number of hours, and the same for meetings and other tasks that do not add value to our work.
Research says that multitasking is a massive waste of time because we can only focus on a single task at a time (https://www.apa.org/research/action/multitask). On top of context switching, people who multitask tend to stay busy all the time, are incapable of setting priorities, and end up wasting time on low-value activities.
The first step to addressing low productivity is to track how you spend your time, according to productivity experts such as David Allen, author of Getting Things Done. Microsoft MyAnalytics makes it easier for you to analyze information by recording and aggregating data about your work across all Microsoft 365 applications.
