Today we are talking about Productivity Strategy #4 to Stick with Your Calendar Time Blocks, which is to Remove Distractions.
Any distraction will hurt your productivity. When you combine distractions with a rigid work schedule, it’s tempting to cut corners. Business professionals avert this scenario by considering any distractions in advance and preparing for them.
You can only remove distractions if you know what distracts you. While some people get distracted by the TV, other people get distracted by surfing the web. Knowing what distracts you gives you the power to remove those distractions from your life.
The next time you get distracted, write down what distracted you. Compile a list of distractions and identify how to move those distractions further out of reach. Turn off the Wi-Fi when performing tasks that don’t require Wi-Fi. Move the TV remote to a different room, so it’s more difficult to watch TV instead of work.
Each barrier you put in front of your distractions enables you to get more done in less time.
