Il m'est souvent arrivé de m'enfermer dans des salles de réunions pour faire un travail de fond que je pouvais pas faire en open space.

✅I time block my day, everyday. I have a weekly plan every week, upon which I build my daily plans. ✅ A small portion of every workday I’m unavailable to allow for tasks that require deep focus, usually the mornings when I’m least likely to be needed and my brain works best. ✅Outlook is closed when I’m in meetings, and Teams is on do not disturb. Actual discussions are no place for multitasking. ✅All notifications are off. I check my phone, teams and outlook in regularly scheduled intervals so I pull the work vs. letting it push me.

Los checklist de Tasks son muy útiles para enfocarse. Primero lo Urgente-Importante. Después lo Urgente-No importante. Tercero lo No urgente-Importante. Al final lo No urgente-No importante. Cuando lleguen las interrupciones, te será muy fácil enfocarte nuevamente.

Today's smart phones with the constant pinging of social media, emails, text messages etc can really derail my focus. I have learned to shut down my email and IM client on my laptop, as well as put my mobile phone in my desk until my tasks are complete. It's an extreme step but necessary for someone who wants to always look at their phone!

Interruptions are the silent productivity killer! Here are a few strategies that help me stay focused and productive: - Set clear boundaries and communicate them proactively - Batch tasks & meetings to protect deep work blocks - Quit mail & messengers and turn off notifications during focus time - Keep one emergency channel (e.g. phone calls) if needed - Use auto-responders like "I'll get back to you this afternoon" Home office can also help reduce ad-hoc distractions and noise-cancelling tools certainly are a great aid as well, but true focus requires structural fixes.

Struggling to focus due to constant interruptions? You're not alone! Research shows that it takes an average of 23 minutes to regain focus after a distraction. To combat this, try setting "Do Not Disturb" hours, use apps that block social media, or create a designated quiet space. Prioritize tasks using the Eisenhower Matrix – urgent vs important – and break work into Pomodoro intervals (25-minute bursts). Also, don’t underestimate the power of saying “No” or politely requesting minimal distractions. You can reclaim your concentration, but it takes strategy, discipline, and a sprinkle of patience! Stay firm – your productivity will thank you.

Entendo que algumas das melhores práticas para "aumentar" o desempenho em um ambiente com muitas interrupções seriam o estabelecimento de prioridades claras e definição de horários para trabalho focado. Utilizar técnicas de gestão de tempo, como a "Técnica Pomodoro", e minimizar distrações com equipamento eletrônicos, principalmente notificações de celular. Estabelecer limites com colegas, fazer pausas estratégicas e, se possível, adaptar-se ao ambiente para otimizar a produtividade onde houver lacunas.

Durante mi jornada laboral me funciona, iniciar estableciendo metas sobre lo que quiero lograr, no obstante, me gusta priorizar según grado de dificultad e importancia, con lo cual creo una matriz para ordenar mis tareas. Luego estimo un tiempo en el cual me debo proponer a realizar cada una de estas. Algunos rituales previos a iniciar mis tareas son: 1. Ordenar mi área de trabajo. 2. Preparar toda la información que requiero. 3. Establecer mis tiempos de descanso. 4. Pensar en una playlist para tener ánimos mientras trabajo (eso si te gusta escuchar música mientras trabajas) 5. Preparar un bote de agua y una buena taza de café. Y lo más importante, establecer limites con los compañeros que te rodean.

Time Blocking – Setting specific time slots for deep work and informing colleagues about focus hours. ✅ Minimizing Notifications – Turning off non-essential notifications and emails during high-focus periods. ✅ Using the 2-Minute Rule – If an interruption takes less than 2 minutes to resolve, handle it quickly. Otherwise, schedule it. ✅ Setting Boundaries – Communicating availability to colleagues and setting expectations on response times. ✅ Taking Short Breaks – A quick 5-minute reset can help regain focus rather than pushing through distractions.
