Or defer it to a later period. 12 – Block out distractions. What’s distracting you in your work? Instant messages? Text messages popping in?

Turn off your cell phone, close your email, get off Twitter, stop checking Facebook, stop listening to music, and focus while you’re doing your work. This takes that concept and throws it out the window. The result?

Give your manager reasonable estimates of what your team can achieve and keep him or her informed of major issues or delays which come up. You might, for instance, ask your team members not to interrupt you for one hour each morning and afternoon to give yourself a chance to catch-up on your workload. Set boundaries. Don’t work alone.
