Are your people busy, but not productive?

In this episode of How to Be Happy at Work, we explore why focus is becoming the ultimate competitive advantage in today’s workplaces. From the rise of “bullshit jobs” to the epidemic of false urgency, Declan unpacks how modern work culture is sabotaging performance, purpose, and wellbeing: and what leaders can do to turn it around.

You’ll learn:

✅ Why constant multitasking and responsiveness kill productivity

✅ How “if everything’s a priority, nothing is” plays out in teams

✅ The neuroscience of focus and deep work (and how to reclaim it)

✅ How to prioritise meaningful work over performative busyness

✅ 6 evidence-backed ways to boost focus, performance, and wellbeing at work

✅ How to shift from fire-fighting to clarity, purpose, and progress

This episode is packed with real-world examples, science-backed insights, and practical tools you can implement with your team today; whether you're a team leader, people & culture professional, or executive looking to create a high-performance, human-centric workplace.
