How to Block out Disruptive, Chaotic Clients (Time Management Tips)

Simon Reilly

Blocking Out Disruption Don & Donna

In preparation for Don & Donna, prepare the following;

  • In the olden days, they had these large faced clocks with the sweeping, second hand. Put one of these clocks up on the wall on either the right or left-hand wall at the side of your desk.
  • Create a Sign that says Block Time and put it on your locked office door during your Block Time.
  • Have a journal and pen at the ready on your desk.

You have had the meeting about your three to five-year vision and your business plan with your partners, associates, employees, family members and friends along with your Free, Buffer & Focus Days Plan.  And then there is always Disruption Don & Donna. 

Tap, tap, tap, email, email, email, ring, ring, ring … this will only take a second.

Your reply;

  • Remember the meeting that I had about my three to five year vision, business plan and Free, Buffer & Focus Days Plan.
  • Ask Don or Donna if they have heard of the Harvard Study that came to the conclusion, that when a person gets interrupted, it takes twenty minutes to regain their focus especially if they are on Block Time.
  • Don or Donna, I am not answering your question right now and I’m asking you to find another way to get what you require, and please remember that I am open to talk with you about A priorities between 8 and 8:30am or at an 11 AM time slot when you have more time available. 

    Thank you.
