Challenge: Trouble Managing Interruptions

Accommodations

*Put up a “Do Not Disturb” sign when you need to work without interruption.

*Write down what you were doing when interruptions occur, so that you can resume your work seamlessly.

*Do one task at a time. Do not start a new task until you finish your current project.

*Initiate telephone calls, rather than wait for people to call you back.

*Ask your supervisor to clarify priorities.

*Work on major projects early, late, or on weekends, when the office is quiet.
