time you will need to complete something than to underestimate the time
you will need. By scheduling time for interruptions, you create an
emergency lane in the road map of your daily or even weekly schedule. As
soon as the emergency has been dealt with, you can re-enter the traffic
and commence heading for your destination, which is achievement of your
goals.
Use deadlines to keep you on track. When people try to interrupt, let them
know you are working with a tight deadline. Often people are more
responsive to the term “deadline” and will not take offence at your lack of
participation.
Make accomplishing and completing your goals and objectives your
number one priority. If you want to make the most of your time you have to
put yourself first, otherwise you aren’t going to make it.
You have a right to be selfish when it comes to how you spend your time.
Be selfish, take advantage of the time you have to finish your tasks and
move on.
Don’t stress. If you do find you face an inevitable interruption (you get
stuck behind the train for 30 minutes) don’t stress, because worrying about
something that you have no control over, won’t fix the problem. Instead,
take advantage of the time to get in touch with the people you are trying to
connect with or your job, let them know what has happened, and take
advantage of the time to meditate and reorganise your template for the day
to accommodate for your interruption. Remember everyone faces
interruptions every day. You can manage your time efficiently even with
interruptions. The key to this is to have an alternate time plan and keep
calm.
You can also delegate important tasks to other people when you find you
are in a difficult situation. Make sure you have a list of people handy that
are readily available and willing to help out in the event you run out of time
or are running behind.
