- I try to find blocks of uninterrupted time…coming in early, working at a different location for an afternoon.
- I have to shut my office door and put earbuds in otherwise I am watching and eavesdropping on the circ desk.
- I use a Gantt chart with To Do, Pending, Doing, & Done on sticky notes. I also love Google Keep!
- I like to go hide in the other end of the building in the basement. It’s really the only way to get people to not interrupt. Not an option for everyone…
- Putting on headset…but without sound. Staff think I’m listening to a training session
