Good day fellow readers. How is your weekend going? I hope you enjoyed the last post that dealt with time management techniques.
In the last post we talked about eliminating distractions and committing to do something for a certain given period of time continuously. If you had put that into practice it sure should have made you a very productive person.
In today’s post I will like to talk to you about a concept called Scheduling your interruptions. Now once again I will like to thank Eben Pagan for sharing this concept as it is another great concept to put in your life.
Now what do I mean by scheduling your interruptions? You need to let people know when you can be reached and when you cannot be reached e.g if you are a student and you have friends who like to call you at all kinds of times to gossip about what is going on in class, which boy likes which girl etc, you need to schedule these things. What I mean is if you know that you are going to do homework between the hours of 7–9, then let your friends know that you cannot be reached during those times as you will be busy but they can call between the hours of 4–7 p.m

This is how you schedule your interruptions. If people email you a lot and you need to respond to their emails, then set up an autoresponder with gmail that lets people know that you aren’t available at the moment but you will be available between the hours of x and y.
When people know these things, you set up your life and your interruptions in such a way that when people interrupt you, you make sure that you aren’t doing anything extremely important at that time, so you will be available to meet whatever request they may have.
So this is what is meant by Scheduling your interruptions. If you enjoyed this post then feel free to leave a comment and let the world know what you thought of this!!!
