Today's Tutorial

Have You Got A Minute? - Managing Interruptions

In the workplace we are actively encouraged to be accessible.  Managers boast about their "open door policy". However interruptions will have a serious affect on your productivity if you aren't careful!  

The average interruption takes about 10 minutes.  If you have six interruptions a day - then you have suddenly "lost" an hour of work time.  

Interruptions seriously disturb your concentration.  You may find yourself having to come in early or stay late - just to have time in the office when people aren't there to interrupt you.  In this tutorial we are going to explore how to minimise interruptions caused by:

  • Yourself
  • Others
  • 'Phones and computers.

This tutorial is mobile phone and PC enabled. Max. score: 2 CPD points
