Control Your Spaces - Interruption Management
When you take control of the spaces in your life, control of your time and career will follow. Controlling your spaces requires minimizing interruptions. In my book Breathing Space, I offer some suggestions for
safeguarding your working environment and minimizing interruptions:
- Surround yourself with everything you need to engage fully in the
change process, which might involve assembling resources, people, and
space, as well as ensuring that you have a quiet environment free of
distractions.
- Give yourself the hours or days you need to read, study, and absorb
what is occurring and to make decisions about how you’ll apply new ways
of doing things and new technologies to your career, business, or
organization.
- Go “cold turkey,” which is not recommended for most people! Suspend
whatever else you’re doing and engage in whatever it takes to
incorporate a new way of doing things. This is enhanced by ensuring that
you’ll have no disturbances, by bringing in outside experts, and by
assembling any other resources you need to succeed.
