Avoiding distractions

However good you at planning the use of your time and using it effectively, some of the time other people will break into the flow of your work. They may take up tracts of time that you had planned to devote to other things.

Some interruptions from customers, from your boss, or from assistants needing help must be accepted despite the delay that this imposes on you. You must, however, be careful that distractions and interruptions do not completely divert you from achieving your goals.

This section explains how to control or reduce distractions as far as possible.
