Minimizing distractions
盡量減少干擾
Randeep Rekhi has an 8 to 5 job and also runs an online wine store called WineDelight.com. "The physical location for the business is in California and I'm in Colorado, so the easiest way to communicate with other employees is via G-Talk, thus I'm always on it in case I'm needed," he says. "This can get distracting at times, but working very early in the morning is great because all the other employees are asleep." Even if your colleagues are all early risers, they likely want to use this time to focus, too -- and may feel sheepish putting a conference call on someone's calendar at 6:30 a.m.
蘭蒂普•雷西有一份朝八晚五的工作,同時還在經營著一家名為WineDelight.com的在線酒水商店。他表示:“公司位于加利福尼亞,而我在科羅拉多,所以與其他員工最便捷的溝通方式就是通過視頻聊天工具G-Talk。因此,我得始終保持在線,以免有事情需要我處理。這有時候會讓我分心,但在早上工作的效果非常好,因為那時候其他員工都還在睡覺呢。”即便其他同事也都屬于早起型,他們肯定也希望用這段時間專心做自己的事情。畢竟,要讓人家早上6:30參加電話會議,實在是不好意思開口吧?
