In this episode, Richard and Pilar discuss the impact of
distractions. Given the context at the moment - with lots of people
returning to their shared physical workspaces - it's timely to
explore the factors that can distract us and disrupt our
focus.
We can find ourselves distracted both by events around us, but
also our inner life: thoughts and emotions. We take a look at some
helpful ways to think about distractions and some suggestions for
how to deal with them more effectively.
