So as I tried to get online this morning, I quickly realized our network was down. And because we moved to the snazzy VOIP, that meant our phone system was down too 
. While my first reaction was OMG . . . I quickly diverted my attention to miscellaneous projects that I have had on my Perfect Week/Day plan.
Without the constant interruptions of voice mail/email, I have been laser focused and have knocked off many “to-do’s” that I have “started and stopped” many times because of pesky CIE’s (calls, interruptions and emails for those that haven’t been through our Perfect Week/Perfect Day training program).
While I strive to get into “work flow zones” when doing project related work, I have to admit it is a very tough to discipline myself to halt email and put the phone on silent when attacking these projects.
Like you, I have people I am waiting to hear from!
But lacking that ability to be “connected” this morning quickly demonstrated how powerful and productive you can be when laser focused with no (or fewer) interruptions!
So on this Friday afternoon, if you have some projects that need “quiet, focused time”, halt your email, put your phone on silent and get into a “workflow zone”.
The results will be priceless!
Have a perfect day and a great weekend!
