There will come a time where you really need to get things done. You have blocked out your calendar and prepared mentally to clear work for the next few hours. However, there are still things that are not within your control. Avoid these killer of productivity if you want to get work done!
1. Facebook
Or more broadly, the Internet. The familiar situation where you are thinking about something and out of habit log in to facebook to check your newsfeed. If your work does not require you to use the computer, shut it down.
2. The unoccupied co-worker
He has nothing on his plate and is looking for someone to chitchat with. He might be a great source of information but otherwise someone you should avoid when you are busy. To avoid him, plug your earphones to show that you are busy and pretend not to hear him.
3. Too many windows
Well, I meant the computer. Focus by only having the necessary applications open on your laptop. Close the unused windows on your explorer bar.
4. Chat messengers
Log off from your instant chat messengers to prevent unsolicited conversations that kills your concentration.
