Not To Phony

Save time and avoid getting distracted by eliminating
as many common distractions as possible.

That means you should shut off the cell phone, turn the ringer off on the landline and turn off the TV. (Music is ok if can focus on your work and not on the music itself.) If you find yourself doing things like staring out the window, close those blinds.

If you’re the type who has a cell phone attached to your hip at all times, the thought of shutting off that cell phone may be… frightening.

If you’re used to answering all calls and replying to all text messages as they come in, you might feel a little anxious about disconnecting from your friends, family and colleagues like that.

Relax. You’ll get used to it. And you may even find it enjoyable and liberating. ☺

Tip: Naturally, there are times when you can’t disconnect completely. If that’s the case, screen your calls. Only answer those that are absolutely necessary, and let the others leave messages. If possible, have someone else field your calls for a few hours so that you can focus.
