The Age of Distraction

Published on:
20th January 2025

"This is not the Age of Information. This is the Age of Distraction”, this statement from Michael Bugeja leads us to ask whether distraction and interruption is responsible for much of the stress we feel today.

Living in the 'Age of Distraction' can lead to increased stress, exacerbated by feeling pressured, lower self-worth and extending working hours to compensate.

As individuals we differ in our stress trigger points and thresholds. By designing zoned workplaces according to sensory thresholds, we can support neurodiversity, enhance wellbeing, improve productivity, increase staff retention and have greater office occupancy.

Project Case Study - Knight Frank Investment Management (KFIM) wanted to create a workplace that caters to the varied needs of their colleagues. Building and fostering a space centred on physical and mental wellbeing through biophilic design was a high priority. The team also wanted their office to boost productivity, creativity and overall wellbeing through a cost effective approach.
