Listen to today's podcast...
On the last working day of the year, the office is quiet and you are prepared to take advantage of it to get caught up on your work. The phone rings. You sigh. Another stressful interruption.
According to Fast Company the average office worker is interrupted and taken off task every 11 minutes. Even worse, they say that it takes basically that much time to refocus on the task at hand. Often, we end up compensating for interruptions by working faster and harder, which results in us experiencing more stress. We get frustrated, impatient, annoyed, angry, defeated. The key to avoid interruptions at work is to find productive ways to minimize and deal with them and keep our emotions in check.
Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!
Tips For Building Resiliency and Dealing With No Interruptions Day:
Plan for interruptions. Know the type of interruptions that you usually encounter and when they are most likely to occur.
Limit the opportunities for people to distract you. If you need time to concentrate on a particular task, block it off in your schedule and let colleagues know that you are not available until a certain time. Turn off your phone and your email notifiers. Shut the door. Book a meeting room just for yourself.
Watch for your own personal interrupters. A messy desk, hunger, thirst and curiosity all get in our own way of being as productive as we can. Organize yourself prior to starting your focused time, not during it.
