Rule #3: Accept Responsibility for Yourself and Block Out Unproductive People
One of the best ways to manage your time at work is to take control of your own productivity. You can't blame someone else for not being productive, or for distracting you from your work.
So how do you block out people who are distracting you? Here are some tips:
1. Accept responsibility for yourself and block out unproductive people.
2. Make sure your workspace is the right size for you.
3. Make sure that everything in your workspace has a purpose.
4. Block out any noise coming from other offices or cubicles that are near yours, especially if it's constant or loud enough to distract you from what you're doing.
Rule #4. Create Separate Workspace When Necessary
The workspace is a vital part of your working environment, and it is important that you have the right tools to help you achieve your goals.
The most common mistake people make when creating a workspace is not separating their workspace from the rest of the office. You should have a separate area where you can work on any project or task that you need to complete without being disturbed by other employees in the office.
Rule #5. Be Aware of Your Inner Impulses and React Wisely
It is important to keep a balance in life. You can't live life just to work and earn money. You need to have a balance between work and other things like family, friends, community etc. Below are two keys to take note of:
1. Workplace awareness: The first step towards workplace awareness is to be aware of yourself. This can help you to know what you are good at and what you are not good at. It will also help you to know if there are any particular aspects that you can work on as well as what it takes for you to achieve success in your job or profession.
2. Workplace wisdom: Workplace wisdom means having a good understanding about the industry or profession that you are working in. It requires knowledge about the industry, its opportunities and its challenges too. You need to have extensive knowledge about all these aspects so that you can make wise decisions based on them.
Conclusion.
Workplace distractions are an age-old problem. They're universal and they've been around for decades. The solution is equally universal and equally easy to find. But what you may not know is that there is some technology out there that can help you solve your distractions problems, by blocking certain sites, or allowing only certain sites to be viewed during certain times. I am going to break down the best few solutions for you with no cost implications in my next podcast, and provide a way of tackling distractions without even getting up from your desk.
Distractions are the mortal enemy of any focused worker. They may come from within or without, but understanding how to overcome them is key to a productive day. Do have a blessed day.
