Dormancy at Office

As per a survey the following were the observations as regards the % of objects involved in the research on the subject office disractions/interruptions :

33% difficulty working

25% no time to think creatively

21% information overload

10% missed deadlines

5% lost business/angry customers

3% poor work evaluation

2% lost temper

Some workplace distractions and interruptions are unavoidable but others – if not properly controlled or regulated -- could lead to injuries, lost productivity, and a decrease in worker morale.

In work situations where loud or constant noise is unavoidable, hearing protection devices can eliminate or decrease unwanted and distracting noise. If these devices are approved in your workplace, as a courtesy to your co-workers, make sure you keep your cell phone on a low volume or silent when you work. Don’t answer the phone or emails when you’re in the middle of a task let it ring to voicemail then check messages later preferably on your break time.

Walking around while talking on the phone or wearing a headset distracts your attention from safety and could result in a slip or fall or cause you to run into or be struck by something or someone. Speak up about repeated and/or unsafe distractions and think and take responsibility for not interrupting or distracting others.

If you go to list the top distractions at office you can say the following

Email

Telephone

Paper

Visitors

Environment

Noise

Meetings

Lists

Expectations

You

One solution is to have a set time block each day for “open door” questions and discussions.

Have your To-Do list nearby and ready to write down quick thoughts and keep going. Consider using a digital voice recorder, but make sure you have a process for later putting the information into your time management system.

Keep your workplace uncluttered for minimum distractions and maximum productivity.

Keep your paper inbox cleaned out and ready so people feel comfortable leaving things for you there. Instruct those you work with to use written instructions whenever possible

Use the phrase “not available” when declining a request. People tend to not question this phrase and instead will go on to the next choice.
