Stay Focused
November 28 2007Erin’s Business Tip Of The Week
Stay focused.
The way to stay focused is to minimize your distractions. When you need to crank out some work or make some serious progress on a project, you must rid your work area of everything but the project at hand. This means you close your browser as to not be distracted by the internet, email, IM, etc., turn your cell phone and blackberry to silent, and clear all unrelated paperwork from your desk. If you are in a busy office, put your office phone on do-not-disturb and kindly let people who come into your office for questions or comments know that you would be happy to discuss their topic in a couple of hours or the next day. When you prepare in advance to minimize your distractions you will dramatically increase your productivity and efficiency for each project.
