Survey, we surveyed 1,464
team leaders and members
and asked them to rank their

roadblocks.
Here are the top 5:

5. TIP:Combat
procrastination by
setting a time limit for
yourself so you don't
have to scramble hours
before a deadline.
We're all guilty of it. Putting something off until the last
minute can really affect quality of work, not to mention
increase stress levels.
7. TIP:Call out tasks that are urgent
and backlog tasks that
aren't, so you and your team
are on the same page when it
comes to priorities.
Without
a
clear
understanding
of
priorities,
productivity
is
wasted
on
less
important
tasks.
9. Did you know it takes an average of 25 minutes to
refocus after you get distracted from a task1? Ouch.
And unfortunately, a single email notification will do
the trick.
TIP:Silence your email
notifications and set one
dedicated block time during
the day to respond to
emails — and try to ignore
them the rest of the day.

11. Waiting for a teammate to respond to an email or take
action on a task can bring productivity to a grinding halt.
TIP:Make sure you set clear
deadlines and have an
easy way to track task
status, so you're not
wasting time constantly
checking in.

13. According to our survey, 60% of respondents identified
multitasking as their top productivity roadblock. There's a
simple solution to this: stop multitasking!
Like texting while driving, it prevents you from focusing 100%
of your attention on either task. And the extra mental blocks
you create by constantly shifting between tasks can cost 40%
of your time.
TIP:Block out time for
different projects, so
you can maximize your
attention and
productivity.

productive. You can overcome these productivity killers.

15. But it’s going to take a lot more than arming yourself with a few hacks. Fighting
back will require paying detailed attention to how work flows through your
team, and potentially some serious improvement of your work management
processes.
