]]> Comment on The Skill of Continuous Partial Attention by Linda http://instantlyresponsive.wordpress.com/2008/10/23/the-skill-of-continuous-partial-attention/#comment-30 Linda Fri, 24 Oct 2008 01:57:18 +0000 http://instantlyresponsive.wordpress.com/?p=18#comment-30 Continuous partial attention is another name for a type of complex multi-tasking where we are attempting to do multiple activities that are NOT automatic and that require cognitive skill. Examples: Driving AND texting on a cell phone. Emailing and talking on the phone. We may experience some feeling of success doing this, but, for the most part, doing this means we cannot fully engage our attention with any activity and our capability (whether we feel it or not) is likely compromised to a degree. To follow Twitter -- even just reading a stream, and to participate in a conference call at the same time, is to do neither very well. CPA is a useful attention strategy in some cases, particularly cases where we want to scan multiple activities. Fully engaged attention is far more effective in most cases.

Does your compensation justify the weekend work?  Is your employer getting extra labor without paying?  In my case, the balancing tradeoff for a 365x7x24 job is flextime.  Busy peaks are matched with extra downtime.  On the final ledger everyone wins - I work when my company needs me and I have sufficient downtime to feel fairly treated.Third, process improvement.  Why does somebody need you on the weekend?  There's no such thing as an "unexpected weekend", so how should we improve our planning and scheduling so work gets done during regular work time?   This conversation continues at <a href="http://www.bsgalliance.com/convs/show/2332" rel="nofollow">BSG Alliance</a>   Brittain <a href="http://www.bsgalliance.com/account/profile/11" rel="nofollow">View My Profile</a> Managing Director, Applications Team BSG Alliance Keri,

We all need our personal time. Our increased connectedness should not intrude on personal time. With that said, I find it easier to work and see that I'm working at times when maybe I should be more focused on personal time. I did not answer any e-mails during my son's basketball game, and did not bring my blackberry to my squash matches or on our day ski trip this weekend. That is a good thing. Responses can wait.

In fact, anything else might be quite unfortunate. I see today individuals who email colleagues in the next office rather than walk to see them or pick up a phone. IMHO, this significantly impedes communications and weakens relationships. Let's embrace the new Web 2.0 world for all the new things it enables, and keep that of the Web 1.0 (and before) that we should!
