You know when I get the most work done?

Photo by DeaPeaJay

Work that is my very best, when I’m at my best, smartest, and most productive?

It happens when I am able to work undisturbed.

"Undisturbed,” you say? How in the world does that happen?

Let me share with you what I have figured out…

You too, will find you get your best work done when you can concentrate and focus on the most important tasks at hand.

But sometimes no sooner do we get into a project and someone knocks on our door...

...or we receive a text message, or our phone so nicely dings or buzzes to let us know we’ve received a brand-new email.

Great, and not so great.

The chances of that knock, message, call, or email really needing our attention right that second are, dare I say, slim-to-none.

Which means that I’m not even tempted to break or lose focus, which also means I get a whole lot done – –

And it takes me a lot less time than if my focus was divided.

Because we are both human, you and me, I know we’re probably the same.

Which means that when you locate the “off” and “silent” options on your devices and use them...

You will find yourself getting a lot more juice out of your work lemon.

And THAT means you’ve get more done in less time!

(Can I get a “yay!”?)

Enjoy your maximum productivity, and I’ll see you next week!
