Are you really focused on the job at hand?

In other words; are you distracted easily?

A few more questions;
• When you hear that you have an e-mail message do you go directly to it?
• When you are working on something and someone approaches you to do move directly to help that person?

If you do any of these actions – you are distracted very easily. What are the ramifications of your lack of focus? First of all, you don’t get the things you need to get done in a timely manner. Secondly, you spend a large amount of time doing ‘busy work’, when in reality you are doing nothing. Lastly, you are hurting the business financially.

What can you do to improve?

All that you need to do is clarify what your objective is when you are working. Then focus on that objective.

This isn’t rocket science, is it?
