Is the Phone a Business Distraction?
There are a lot of distractions that a WAHM has to deal with on a daily basis. One of the most difficult distractions is the telephone. When you’re at home all day by yourself, day after day you may find a friendly voice on the phone is a wonderful thing to hear.
One way to handle the phone distraction is to find a way to talk to people in the evenings. If you can’t make that happen, then you’ll need to schedule time to talk on the phone, but time yourself so you stick to your schedule. If you don’t you could spend hours on there causing you to miss deadlines and fall behind in your business.
Another way to handle the phone distractions is to plan a lunch date with a friend or family member. When you plan a lunch date you’ll have something to look forward to and you’ll find you’ll strive to get your work done so you can take the time needed to get away and enjoy yourself.
The most important thing to remember when you’re dealing with a phone distraction is to plan for them in one way or the other. Schedule time to talk to your friends on the phone or plan a lunch date with a friend or family member. When you do this you’ll be more productive and you’ll work harder so you can talk to those people regularly.
