Distractions come in many sizes and shapes. To be effective in our work we need to recognize and learn how to handle whatever distractions come our way. Consider the following collection of distractions, their descriptions, and ideas for managing them. Provided by the CS 2350 students of summer 2017.
There are a lot of different ideas for how to deal with distractions. In fact, it is easy to find lists of ways to manage distractions. The lists are many different lengths and a variety of ideas. Following is a list of lists. Each item in the list links to web page that provides a list of ways to manage distractions.
I love eating healthy and often. This can lead to serious distraction. I can be working away and think "I need to eat something." Then my mind goes to work figuring out what to eat that is healthy, how to prep it, and wondering if I have the stuff to make it. Then off to the kitchen I go to fix it. After that there is the eating. Sometimes to save time I bring the food back to my desk thinking I will work while I eat but really I get very little done while I am eating. The whole process is pretty time-consuming. And since it is healthy it seems like I am doing a "good" thing even though my work productivity is suffering.
My most effective way to manage this distraction is to plan ahead. I can plan the best times to stop and eat. That way I don't eat too often or forget to eat (which can make me less effective even if I keep working.)Then I can prep the food ahead of time before I start work. That way when it is time to eat my break from work is much shorter.
