Jason Fried, CEO of 37Signals, shares that the biggest problem with modern offices is the constant interruptions.
The key to get work done — remove interruptions and distractions.
He recommends the following:
- Shift your collaboration to more passive things – put e-mail, collaborations, etc off until you’re not busy
- Let people manage themselves
- If you send a message and someone doesn’t respond — it’s because they’re busy — let them get back to you when they’re not busy
- Stop imagining everything’s an emergency — there’s rarely any real emergencies in business
Sounds like a lot like folks learning to say, “No.”
What other things have you done to remove distractions at the office?
