Please experiment with those that feel authentic to you, and fit with the culture of your work place.<\/p>\n<p>1. <strong>Determine<\/strong> when you work best, and, whenever possible, <strong>set aside<\/strong> this time by making an appointment in your calendar.<\/p>\n<p>2. <strong>Prepare <\/strong>for your work time by making sure that you:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>identify exactly what you want to do during the time you have available.<\/li>\n<li>have all the information and materials you need beforehand. This way you will not have to ask someone for help, and potentially get side tracked.<\/li>\n<li>have music\/white noise ready, if you need it.<\/li>\n<li>set aside food and drink.<\/li>\n<li>other&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>3. <strong>Close<\/strong> your door.<\/p>\n<p>4. If it would be appropriate or you feel the need, <strong>explain<\/strong> to the appropriate people what you are doing. &#8220;I&#8217;m trying to be more productive by cutting down on my interruptions. I thought closing the door might help. Do you need anything before I get to work? I&#8217;ll have my door closed from 10:00-11:30.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>5. <strong>Let<\/strong> the machine or answering service get your messages.<\/p>\n<p>6. <strong>Don&#8217;t check<\/strong> your email. Close it, if that would help.<\/p>\n<p>7. Are there other potential distractions? What do you need to do to minimize these? I think you will be surprised at how much work you can get done when you <strong>set an intention and create a plan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>ADDed Perspectives Bottom Line<\/h2>\n<p>By preparing in advance you can reduce the number of interruptions and distractions at work.
