Hints for handling interruptions to your day:
Reduce the number of interruptions
Log interruptions
It could be a useful exercise to log all the interruptions you get over a few days to identify the variety of reasons you are interrupted.
Note who, when and why and how long they take out of your day. A pattern may emerge and provide you with some tactics for improving the amount of free time you can create.
“Don’t do everyone else’s thinking for them. Their brains will shrivel – and yours may explode”
Delegate and train
If your daily pattern shows a number of interruptions for technical advice perhaps a short training session would help the situation, look at how you delegate to others, or if you don’t. Letting people know where, other than you, they could find the information they need.
Make sure that you are not the only person that holds information.
