Today we are talking about Productivity Tip #5, which is: Speaking of Distractions. 

If you work from home, distractions are, well, distracting! They take you from your work and make you less than productive. The vacuuming, dog walking, laundry, errands… they all can distract you when you work from home. If you work in an office, your staff can be distractions. People popping their heads into your door just to say hi or pick your brain will take you away from the tasks at hand and will keep you from being as productive as you could be. If you work from home set up specific office hours and let friends and family know you’re not available to always go out to lunch or run errands for them. Do your laundry and household tasks on your lunch breaks or after working hours. 

What if this statistic is true? Every 11 minutes you are distracted or interrupted by someone or something that takes your focus away from what you are currently doing.  Then it takes approximately 30 minutes to go back and get refocused on where you were to then begin again.  If this is true or close to reality, what would have to happen to not let this be true in your life?
