@ginidietrich Isn’t it crazy? It takes 23 minutes to get back to work too.

EBAY -0.25% At most companies, it’s a struggle “to get work done on a daily basis, with all these things coming at you,” she says.

Office workers are interrupted—or self-interrupt—roughly every three minutes, academic studies have found, with numerous distractions coming in both digital and human forms. Once thrown off track, it can take some 23 minutes for a worker to return to the original task, says Gloria Mark, a professor of informatics at the University of California, Irvine, who studies digital distraction.

@stevenmcoyle @aimeelwest @belllindsay @creativeoncall @ginidietrich Totally get you on that. I’m a worker and I really want to get stuff done. I love developing real relationships in the workplace but I’m not there primarily to socialize. I try to quickly remind people that I have more to do than hours in the day and I love my job, so…gotta go!
