3-day Virtual Seminar

Managing Interruptions - The Art of Getting Work Done

Overview

During the webinar, we will share essential tips that will not only help you understand and manage interruptions and other remote working issues but will also help you in learning how to stay focused when working from home and improve your time management skills. 

Why you should Attend

Today's workers are nearly as likely to interrupt themselves as to be interrupted by others. About 44 percent of interruptions are self-induced. These interruptions can break your train of thought and slow your work pace.

While interruptions at the workplace and at home are inevitable, it doesn't mean that they cannot be minimized or reduced. How do you deal with interruptions and what your strategies are for handling their matters?

The key to controlling interruptions is to know what they are and whether they are necessary and to plan for them.
