This tip might sound obvious…but I bet there is a good chance you don’t do it.
When you’re working, let people know that you’re busy and can’t be interrupted.
For some reason, people think just because you’re not in an office building working for someone else, that you can be available to them 24/7.
So they’ll call you throughout the day, ask you to get together in the middle of the day, or even just come into the room while you’re working to chat.
It doesn’t matter if it’s friends or family members…if you’re working, you need to let them know that you are and can’t be disturbed.
It can be as simple as telling people not to call you between certain hours of the day, or not to come into the room you’re working in at certain times.
Of course if you’re watching your children or are taking care of someone, then it’s a different story.
But if you’re working, and people know not to bother you during certain hours, you’ll be surprised how much more you get done!
