Background:


Meetings, emails, and chats are necessary to get work done, but they often leave us with little time during the work day for uninterrupted individual work. Some people report spending over 80% of their day collaborating with coworkers, and research has shown that it can take over 20 minutes to refocus after checking just one email.


The focus plan you block regular time for your top-priority work by scheduling up to four hours every day to focus. The plan also lets you configure your focus-plan settings to match your needs:

 

  •  You can silence or allow chats in Teams and in Skype for Business.
  •  You can mute or unmute team notifications.


You can create, configure, or end your focus plan at will.
