6 Things That Should Not Be Distractions While At Work

April 12th, 2012 - By Blair Bedford

Your Cell Phone

You cell phone could be one of those reoccurring distractions that throw you off from your workload. From phone calls about the kids to texts from friends and family, our cell phones are easily an important aspect in many of our lives, since it keeps us connected instantly.

If turning off your cell phone is what you need to do to get your mind focused on work during the day, then that is a great way to control the distraction, but if you must have your cell phone on, use it for emergency purposes only. Your cell phone does not have to be in plain sight or a short distance from you at all times. If someone texts you, don’t continue an hour-long back and forth with them. And if it is not something you need to get work done or for personal emergencies, then it does not need to be in use heavily. Moderate your time on and with your phone.

    I hate my job so much that I’m always looking for jobs. I have even gotten to the point that I’m applying to jobs that I find. I don’t care how tacky it is. Why be loyal to my job when it sure as hell won’t be loyal to me.

    I agree, especially with the personal/love life issue. I have outside issues but at my job I try to go in and out and that’s it. Where I work we just sit there for hours and hours and make phone calls so most of us are on our phones because we sometimes get dead numbers (when no one picks up, busy signals, not in service) so while we’re calling we just go on our cellular phones. What’s funny is while I’m at my desk, 90% of the time I am on MN. Lol I love this site what can I say.

    Anything personal has no place in the workplace BUT some of above listed information is job dependent. Social networks and my cell phone are a component of my position.
