Productivity Podcast: On Interruptions

July 16, 2009 in Productivity

Chris Perrin and I had a discussion about how your Productivity practice needs to include methods and tactics for managing interruptions.

Some of the take-aways to listen for:

  • Have a Twitter “protocol” – using Twitter as a communication tool or lead generating vehicle doesn’t need to take all day
  • Manage your presence so you don’t lose track of time
  • “Do” some of your Most Important Tasks before you even log on to Twitter
  • Don’t be afraid to stay offline if you can do your work without it
  • Thinking about e-mail and the importance of the subject line
  • Set yourself up for success tomorrow, by being prepared today

As always I would love to hear your thoughts.
