The dilemma

So you’ve resolved to complete a task by midday. When 12:00 hits you recount your morning of reading through emails you’ve already read and are no closer to responding to, scrolling through your Facebook feed and watching cat videos on YouTube.

The solution

There’s no denying that the above distractions pose a huge threat to productivity. The truth of the matter is this: we can only really do one thing at a time – productively. The solution? Take control of your distractions. Divide and conquer your tasks.

How Surface can help

With Surface on Windows 10 you can create as many desktops as you like – two or three being ideal. This means you can have your emails and calendar on Desktop 1 while you work on a Word document on Desktop 2. Creating multiple desktops enables you to categorise your work, focus on your priorities and minimise distractions.

In this Be a Surface Pro video, learn how multiple desktops on the Surface Pro 4 can help you to be more productive.
