The small frequent disruptions workers deal with on a daily basis is one of the most overlooked factors that lowers workers productivity. Simple distractions can quickly add up for even the most devoted employee, making it important that one understands how to minimize these disturbances and manage time. These distractions can take a variety of forms and strike at any time throughout the business day. Anything from personal visitors and phone calls to general things like procrastination, indecision, and unclear objectives can lead to unnecessary time wasted. Being able to deal with distractions and remain focused on the task at hand is a vital quality for a successful staff member to have.


One of the biggest problems and sometimes the hardest to avoid is taking on too much work. The inability to say "no" is one of the easiest ways to become overwhelmed and stressed. Accepting every offered project will eventually lead to not having enough time to finish any of them. Knowing your workload limitations to do your best work is a simple key to success in the business world.


Distractions proved costly for office workers in number of ways. As an employee's time dwindles throughout the day, his or her stress levels rise, affecting everything from their relationship with co-workers to the left and quality of sleep they get. When trying to improve the product productivity, there are many elements to consider while some people may feel they benefit from finishing work right before a major deadline, ultimately, they need to take a step back and look at how they are managing their time. By figuring out how to plan, delegate, and organize their projects, not only will they become more efficient, they will find their stress levels lower considerably while their quality of office life improves tremendously.
