The Quest For Fewer Interruptions

Transcript

[Wizard character narrator] Welcome, tiny hero!

Your quest for today is to submit a report to the boss. Sounds easy, right? Ah, but you will likely face many tempting distractions and meddling interruptions on your journey. It's up to you to decide which of these tasks you accept and which are unworthy time sappers.

Ready? Begin!

A true hero will always want to help out, where they can, but, even the smallest side quest can throw you off the path of your main goal.

Don't get sidetracked. If the task doesn't help you to achieve your main goal, conjure the strength to say "no"! Or, use the power of suggestion and recommend someone else who might be able to help instead.

To avoid more unnecessary interruptions, let others know when you're in full concentration mode. Use the hyper noise-canceling earphones 3000 in your inventory. Or change your online status to "do not disturb."

But, don't make yourself unavailable all the time, or else your teammates won't approach you for help when they truly need it.

No matter how determined you are to achieve your goal, sometimes an interruption will come along you just can't ignore. If something urgent and important does come up, don't panic! It's not game over. Address the issue at hand, and then reassess your game plan so you can return to your original quest.

So, next time you are faced with those pesky interruptions, think like a hero. Use these tips and you'll be well on your way to glory.
