Beat These Productivity Killers

3. Chatter-boxes:

In every office, and everywhere you go, you will see chatter-boxes around you. Often they will interrupt your work with their chit chatting habit. Don’t forget to put a pause on the never-ending stories and dump jokes. Wasting and hogging your time is a yellow signal to pause them. You can make use of tricks like excuse yourself and get help from another colleague to stop the chatter boxes. Once you identify the big chatters, don’t get involved in their group. There are many ways to avoid the chatters as you can tell them that you have to make an important call or you have an appointment to deal with. Trying to avoid the eye-contact with the chatter-boxes is an indirect way of informing them to ‘get out of my way’.
