office

Whether at work, on the go or at home, people rarely like to be interrupted. Here are some tips on preventing that from happening. You too can prevent interruptions 1) Relax and get comfortable before you begin the task at hand; sit in a good chair, adjust the lighting, etc. It's bad enough when other people interfere, you don't need to let your own body beat them to it with a cramped neck or tired eyes. 2) Allow people onto your instant messenger contact list once you're confident that they won't abuse the privilege of being there. 3) Turn off your email/messaging program or any other work communications mechanism but make sure that people know how to reach you in case of emergency, work or otherwise. In my case, I used instant messaging as my hotline and that's why it's important to follow tip 2) before this one.
