One of the biggest time-stealers in the office setting is the interruption. A productivity killer, unwanted interruptions keep works from achieving peak performance…and are just generally annoying.
Here are some sure-fire tips to help you avoid interruptions from well meaning, and not-so-well-meaning coworkers:
Move your chair so that it can’t be seen from the door. This will cut down on the “Hi, How are you?” interruptions that can really bog down your day.
Use body language to convey that you are busy. Turn only part of your body towards the individual who is speaking to you to communicate that you are preoccupied.
Create a road block. Place a chair, desk or other object between you and your door. Crazy, but it works!
Screen your calls. Have the operator or your secretary take all yours while you are focused on a big project.
Place your computer monitor right in front of your face. By not offering up visual cues, fewer people will feel comfortable starting up a conversation.
