This is #10 in a series on Time Management: Focus on Life and Results, Not Time
A certain amount of interruptions is
unavoidable in any work environment. We
are, after all, human beings who are easily distracted by shiny, sexier items
than what we might be currently working on at our desks.
The other reality is that in today’s typical
organization, we are called to intersect, collaborate and access each other at
several points in any given work process.
So admittedly, you won’t be able to control all of the interruptions in
your work; however, you can take responsibility for managing some interruptions
and influencing how long interruptions distract you from getting down to
work.
