Creating Time Part 3
Tip: “Minimize Interruptions”
We live today in a technological era where phones are constantly ringing or beeping, emails are coming and going every other minute, and we are constantly updated on the day’s events. Trying to keep up with everything sucks our time away. Set aside time each day that you do not allow interrupts to distract you. If possible turn off your phone, shut down your email, and concentrate on the tasks at hand.
Tip: “Work Like A Professional”
I know that we are all professionals but do we always work that way? Sometimes it is easier to tell ourselves that we will be more efficient and refreshed after a few hours off or in the morning, that we just aren’t feeling it right now. Honestly our moods should not affect our work. We all need to work like a professional, dig deep, and keep pushing forward. Often once we stop working for the day, coming back to it just doesn’t happen. If you schedule your time each day in an effective and efficient manner, getting through the afternoon slump should get easier. The result: you can enjoy your evening without the day’s unfinished working hanging over you.
