How do you all deal with work distractions?
Morning ladies!
So its the last few days of my sales quarter(Friday please get here!), and I usually work from home "dialing for dollars" as my boss likes to call it during that time. I'm typically in and out of my car all day or home alone any other day. The internet is usually my only distraction when I'm alone.
But apparently my apartment building is working on an elevator, and the constant banging is driving me insane! I would rather not work from a Starbucks due to the amount of phone conversations I'll have with customers and it would be too loud and unprofessional for a business conversation.
That being said, what do all of you do to distract yourself from work distractions, noises, crazy coworkers?

Re: How do you all deal with work distractions?
What type of work do you do?
I work in an open cube system. So, I have headphones with me at all times. It seriously helps when someone next to me starts crunching.
So to answer tarra's question, on some days, I do work from my couch. If I'm running reports and calling customers I set up my work laptop, my personal laptop, and both my phones from its coziness. The other days I spend a lot of time and miles in my car.
Pee k, thanks for the headphones tip. I might just have to try it. I have the radio on in my car all day. Not sure why I didn't think about the same for at home.
Still here and still fabulous!
