Getting full
attention on to a task requires at least 15 minutes of uninterrupted
focus. It takes 25 minutes to return to
the task which you have been focusing on and strayed because of interruptions.
Working in a
distracting environment has a negative impact on the quality and output of
their work.
Distractions at work reduce
one’s IQ that is twice more than the IQ reduction of those who regularly smoke
marijuana.
Avoid all
distractions by physically removing yourself from the crowded place /space or
letting others know that you will not like to be disturbed for that time
slot. Turn off your phone. Switch off your internet and e-,mail and
settle down to your work.
While using time
blocks to achieve tasks, keep these points in mind.
(a)
Treat time block as an important appointment
with
yourself
and make them in your character.
(b)
Do not plan them in too much in advance. Designate
time
blocks one or two days before an important deadline.
(c)
Limit them for one or two hours only. Difficult
to
concentrate
for an extended stretch of time.
(d) Make a plan every day.
(d)
List down your important assignments which
need your
full
attention.
(f) Consciously avoid distractions.
(g) Tackle huge project by dividing into
smaller chunks.
(h) Group tasks needing similar
skills/efforts.
