7 WAYS TO HANDLE INTERRUPTIONS AT WORK.

We have at one time or another been interrupted while working and wondered how to react such a situation. Sharing with you an interesting article on talentequity.in/blog

I am sure most of us are not so
efficient in time management at work.
We might think that we have a to-do-
list, time sheet, drafts etc. ready for
the day to accomplish all the
scheduled tasks. But at the end of the
day time sneaks away from us at work
leaving unmet deadlines and
unchecked to-do-list (sounds
familiar?)
This indicates that we have not
managed our time effectively. This may
be because of workplace interruptions
which may not be in our control and
can disturb our schedule and
productivity.Things like a colleague
stopping by to have a chit chat or
seeking help, email/chat pop ups,
unscheduled meeting with boss/
colleague, phone calls,
unsolicited enquiries/consultancy etc.
All these interruptions can disturb the
focus or thought processes and
ultimately the work schedule.
It could be that you are a people
person and very popular in office. May
be you are technically sound of the
work process etc. and people come to
you to get help/suggestion or simply
to have a chit chat and rewind
(sounds familiar again?) Its good to
be available and responsive but not at
the cost of impacting your own
productivity and schedule. I believe
you can not avert these kind of
interruptions fully but you can control
it.
Following are some tips which can be
used:

1. Prioritize – There may be 10 tasks
to accomplish for the day. Divide them
in the category of important and
urgent and accordingly assign time.
Try to finish the important tasks in the
morning hours where the chances of
interruptions are comparatively less.
There may be many tasks which you
may hate to do, finish them first to
keep the rest of work interesting. Also
don’t forget the principle of 80:20
while prioritizing.

2. Create and Share you schedule –
While creating timesheet for the day
keep buffer time to accommodate
unscheduled urgent business
requirements or unplanned meeting/
work assigned by boss. You also can
keep 3 or 4 slots of 10 minutes each in
your timesheet for the same. You can
use google calendar or Microsoft
outlook to share this schedule of
yours so that your co-worker/boss
knows when you are free.

3. Learn to say NO – What if you
have to deliver that report in an hour’s
time and someone walks to you for a
casual chat or some favour and you
know this may be something
unimportant. To meet the deadlines
and keep schedule in line sometimes
you have to say ‘No’ to people or
postpone a little bit. However you can
choose a delicate way to say that.

4.Keep a check on Email and phone
calls – Instead of keeping outlook/
personal mail open and check/
respond to every email
instantaneously, keep a fix timing to
check and respond to emails like twice
or thrice a day. Same goes with calls
also. You can avoid unknown calls on
mobile to keep the momentum of
work going on and respond to them
during lunch hour, coffee break etc.

5. Wear headphones – This may
sound irrelevant initially but people
generally dont disturb someone
wearing headphones. You dont have
to listen to music, just wear it. You will
also avoid the noise around and I
have personally observed that it helps
in focusing on work also.

6.I am in the middle of something –
Don’t hesitate to say this whenever
you get any interruption and you are
working on something important.
There is no problem in doing that. You
also can add that I shall get back to
you after this work or time. This way
they wont come and disturb you
instead you can go to them whenever
you have leisure time.
7. Rescheduling – However after
managing the interruptions efficiently
by above points, still your scheduleti
may get affected little bit. So you
always can have a look to your
schedule to ensure to meet the goal
of the day.

OFFICE HUMOUR

Real Airline Attendants Quotes
Occasionally, airline attendants make
an effort to make the "in-flight safety
lecture" and their other
anouncements a bit more
entertaining. Here are some real
examples that have been heard or
reported:

There may be 50 ways to leave your
lover, but there are only 4 ways out of
this airplane..."

After landing: "Thank you for flying
Delta Business Express. We hope you
enjoyed giving us the business as
much as we enjoyed taking you for a
ride."

As the plane landed and was coming
to a stop at Washington National, a
lone voice came over the loudspeaker:
"Whoa, big fella. WHOA!"

After a particularly rough landing
during thunderstorms in Memphis, a
flight attendant on a Northwest flight
announced: "Please take care when
opening the overhead compartments
because, after a landing like that, sure
as hell everything has shifted."

From a Southwest Airlines employee....
"Welcome aboard Southwest Flight
XXX to YYY. To operate your seatbelt,
insert the metal tab into the buckle,
and pull tight. It works just like every
other seatbelt, and if you don't know
how to operate one, you probably
shouldn't be out in public
unsupervised.

In the event of a sudden loss of cabin
pressure, oxygen masks will descend
from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab
the mask, and pull it over your face.

If you have a small child traveling with
you, secure your mask before
assisting with theirs. If you are
traveling with two or more small
children, decide now which one you
love more.

Weather at our destination is 50
degrees with some broken clouds,
we'll but try to have them fixed before
we arrive. Thank you, and remember,
nobody loves you, or your money,
more than Southwest Airlines."

"Your seat cushions can be used for
flotation, and in the event of an
emergency water landing, please take
them with our compliments."

Once on a Southwest flight, the pilot
said, "We've reached our cruising
altitude now, and I'm turning off the
seat belt sign. I'm switching to
autopilot, too, so I can come back
there and visit with all of you for the
rest of the flight."

"Should the cabin lose pressure,
oxygen masks will drop from the
overhead area. Please place the bag
over your own mouth and nose
before assisting children or adults
acting like children."

"As you exit the plane, make sure to
gather all of your belongings.
Anything left behind will be
distributed evenly among the flight
attendants. Please do not leave
children or spouses."

"Last one off the plane must clean it."

And from the pilot during his welcome message: "We are pleased to have
some of the best flight attendants in
the industry... Unfortunately, none of
them are on this flight...!"

Heard on Southwest Airlines just after
a very hard landing in Salt Lake City:
The flight attendant came on the
intercom and said, "That was quite a
bump and I know what ya'll are
thinking. I'm here to tell you it wasn't
the airline's fault, it wasn't the pilot's
fault, it wasn't the flight attendants'
fault...it was the asphalt!"

Overheard on an American Airlines
flight into Amarillo, Texas, on a
particularly windy and bumpy day.
During the final approach the Captain
was really having to fight it.

After an extremely hard landing, the Flight
Attendant came on the PA and
announced, "Ladies and Gentlemen,
welcome to Amarillo. Please remain in
your seats with your seatbelts
fastened while the Captain taxis
what's left of our airplane to the
gate!"

Another flight attendant's comment
on a less than perfect landing: "We
ask you to please remain seated as
Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the
terminal."

An airline pilot wrote that on this
particular flight he had hammered his
ship into the runway really hard. The
airline had a policy which required the
first officer to stand at the door while
the passengers exited, smile, and give
them a "Thanks for flying XYZ airline."
He said that in light of his bad landing,
he had a hard time looking the
passengers in the eye, thinking that
someone would have a smart
comment. Finally evryone had gotten
off except for this little old lady
walking with a cane. She said, "Sonny,
mind if I ask you a question?" "Why
no Ma'am," said the pilot, "what is it?"
The little old lady said, "Did we land or
were we shot down?"

After a real crusher of a landing in
Phoenix, the Flight Attendant came on
with, "Ladies and Gentlemen, please
remain in your seats until Capt. Crash
and the Crew have brought the
aircraft to a screeching halt against
the gate. And, once the tire smoke has
cleared and the warning bells are
silenced, we'll open the door and you
can pick your way through the
wreckage to the terminal."

Part of a flight attendant's arrival
announcement:
"We'd like to thank
you folks for flying with us today. And,
the next time you get the insane urge
to go zipping through the skies in a
pressurized metal tube, we hope
you'll think of us here at US Airways."

OFFICE HUMOUR

These are responses you may use when caught slepping on the job:

"They told me at the blood bank this might happen."

"This is just a 15 minute power-nap as described that time management course you sent me."
"Whew! Guess I left the top off the White-Out Yo probably got here just in time!"
"I wasn't sleeping! I was meditating on the missi statement and envisioning a new paradigm."

"I was testing my keyboard for drool resistance."

"I was doing Yoga exercises to relieve work-relat stress."

"Damn! Why did you interrupt me? I had almost figured out a solution to our biggest problem."

"The coffee machine is broken..."

"Someone must've put decaf in the wrong "

... in Jesus' name. Amen."
