Create a Supportive Environment

Constant interruptions and unnecessary distractions dilute your focus:

• Arrange your work space to discourage unscheduled visits.
• Plug in your earphones and listen to soothing music or white noise.
• Move to a quieter place if you can’t block out office banter.
• Schedule time blocks to focus on the task at hand.
• Turn off your phone, mobile devices and email and IM notifications.
• Disconnect from the Internet.
