Quiet time

Written by Winston Brown | Nov 17, 2023 11:30:00 PM

Interruptions outside working hours can lead to stress and burnout. Automatically mute Outlook email and all Teams notifications on mobile during quiet time.

Head over to https://insights.viva.office.com > Protect time > Protect your time > View focus plan preferences

Here you will be able to adjust the time and days you wish to disable notifications for. These settings will apply to both Outlook and Teams, across all your mobile devices.

You should also explore the rest of the settings in this page and configure as required. I personally setup "Lunch Hours" which pencils in a recurring lunch break in my calendar.

I also "Configure your recurring plan for Focus" which books an hour a day to focus on project work, daily tasks or learning.
