Guess who wastes the most time in a work environment?

Guess who wastes the most time in a work environment?  Managers!  Managers interrupt staff every 6-9 minutes. And, the poor admin are interrupted every 2-3 minutes.  No wonder we can not complete tasks!    Here are some tips to Prevent Others From Wasting Your Time:

1. Stop the “gotta minutes?”  It interrupts co-workers’ train of thought and productivity.  Save up the interruptions to a minimum of only three times daily.

2. Remove the chairs from your office if you can.  The chairs serve as an open invitation for people to take a break in your workspace.

3. When constant interrupters visit – stand up the entire time.  It gives the impression that you are busy.

4. Encourage appointments.  Usually by the time the appointment arrives, they have already solved the problem.
