#109: Defeat Productivity Enemies with This Two-Pronged Attack


Listen Later

You get to the end of the day, only to realize it wasn’t nearly as productive as you wanted it to be. You got caught responding to urgent requests from others. You spent too long responding to emails. You jumped from task to task as each one entered your mind. How do you defeat these daily interruptions and distractions? What can you do to get on track for a productive last quarter?

In this episode, Courtney, Verbs, and Blake walk you through a series of strategies to get the interruptions and distractions under control. You don’t have to let your time get hijacked. You can design your days rather than drifting through them and, in turn, make greater gains toward your goals.

In this episode, you’ll discover—

  • The difference between interruptions and distractions
  • How to head off others’ interruptions by signaling your unavailability
  • Why you should make an actual list of what distracts you
  • The value of building regular breaks into your schedule
