Create a distraction free environment

Just the idea of being distracted should send shivers down your spine. Not only does it take you away from the work you’re doing at that time, but it takes away even more time as you have to get back ‘in the zone’ after the distraction. I used to get distracted with emails, messages and voicemail with ‘can I ask you a quick question’, but I found a solution to this where I now never get distracted and the person asking gets the time and proper answer.
