Try to carve out at least one hour of focus time per day where you are not distracted by interruptions. Here's how: - Set boundaries. Establish specific times when you're available for questions or discussions. After that, politely inform interrupters about your need for focus and suggest alternative times to talk. - Focus on high-priority tasks during peak productivity times. Some people focus best in the morning after a coffee; others focus better in the afternoon once they have gotten into the groove. - Practice time blocking. Allocate specific blocks of time for different tasks to maintain focus. - If possible, delegate tasks to minimize your workload and reduce interruptions.

Time blocking is a powerful strategy to enhance productivity and maintain focus. By scheduling specific time slots for different tasks, leaders can manage their time more effectively and avoid multitasking. Begin by planning your day in advance, allocating dedicated time blocks for important tasks, meetings, and breaks. This approach ensures you stay on track and accomplish your goals. Time blocking isn’t just for work; block personal time too! How do you use time blocking?

Actual Performance > False Positives: Let's Discuss Productivity 📈 What truly defines productivity? Often, what we see as productivity can be deceptive. Here are some “false positives” that may seem productive but aren't: 1) Classic “come in office early and leave late” 2) Break Announcements: Being vocal about when taking a break - e.g., announcement at a meeting of upcoming leave of absence over a month away 3) Excessive time in broadcast meetings with no clear outcomes. E.g., Meeting with a full team instead of key players for a specific project (aiming to loop in others to highlight all the work of a project for which they are not a participant). 4) Info Duplication: Spreading the same info across multiple tools creates extra work, not extra value. 5) Scope Creep vs. Delivery: Expanding project scope instead of completing the initial goals can derail progress. 6) Process Obsession: Getting bogged down in minor tasks for the sake of presentation can detract from achieving real results. Let's prioritize genuine performance and outcomes over the illusion of productivity. What are your thoughts on identifying and avoiding these pitfalls? #Productivity #WorkSmart #PerformanceMatters
