When it’s crunch time, one of my friends puts tempting but non-critical projects in a cabinet and shuts the door. Another turns his monitor off and puts his keyboard away when he needs to avoid the web and email.

Is there anything you can put away today?

Similarly, some folks shut their office door when they don’t want distractions from the outside.  However: Others make sure the office door stays open so that they are constantly reminded that they’re in a place with other people who are working – not just sitting in their offices reading interesting newspaper articles or playing Scrabulous.*

*if you don’t know what Scrabulous is, do NOT, repeat do NOT Google it to find out.  The job you save might be your own.
