How I stay productive at work

Between the ping, dings, yoinks, zoinks that goes off at work, it can be hard to focus. Here’s how I stay productive at work amidst it all:

• I’m the owner of my calendar. You are the owner of your calendar. I put blocks of time for focus. If I’m in meetings all day, what good is that?

• I have no meetings Fridays (for the most part).

• A clean desk eliminates distractions.

• Multi-tasking isn’t real. I focus on one thing at a time.

• I over-communicate; I want my colleagues to have all the information they need to do their jobs effectively.
