You can use this phenomenon to your advantage. A great example of a positive success affirmation set to music comes from musical, Oklahoma and I use it quite often to give myself a boost.

It goes like this, "Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day, I've got a wonderful feeling, everything's going my way!"

I sing it every morning while I'm walking my dog. She and some of my neighbors think I'm a little bit off my rocker...but hey, it makes me smile and gives me a positive start to day. I always sing in shower as well...great acoustics there.

Sometimes I'll change it up a bit and use last line to help manifest more of something in my life. For example, say I want a little more cash on hand...I'll change last line to, "money is flowing my way!"

Give it a try right now! You'll be smiling as you sing and that raises your vibration helping to allow success to flow to you.

Begin each day on a positive note and watch your life dramatically improve!

To Your Success!

If they persist, give them an ultimatum: "You rudely interrupt me. I've tolerated this them in past; however, I need for it to stop now." Eventually when they finally realize you're not paying their game, they will stop, and even pretend to be offended. Later they will return with respect. Hopefully, with a new awareness of their behavior. But don't hope. If they don't return, you haven't lost anything.

Tip 5: If you can, keep doing what you are doing. Look up, smile, point to a notepad and pen, and then return to what you were doing.

Tip 6: Sometimes position of your furniture invites interruptions. Especially if your office is beautifully designed, or contains natural ingredients, like plants. Others want to be around this energy. It’s attractive. It’s renewing to them as much as it is to you. There’s only one suggestion -- get them to change their office to reflect same. Then they will not want to leave their office.

Tip 7: If you frequently are trapped behind your desk. Plan and explore various escape routes and methods. You might want to rearrange furniture to that allows escape routes.

Tip 8: Discourage squatters. If your interruptions are due to people consistently coming in and just sitting and talking, remove empty chairs. Place them outside your office.

Tip 9: Do people wait for you to get off a phone call? Place a sign on desk: "If I'm on a phone call, please leave me a note. I'll check back with you as soon as I'm off phone."

An alternative: Train others in a silent hand code. Use your fingers to indicate how long you are going to be. One index finger explains that you will be off phone in a minute or two, please stay. Full hand with a wave says, "I don't know how long and I'll get back to you." This silent code maintains your thought rhythm, acknowledges them, and allows them to make a choice based on their time.

Tip 10: Many ways for handling, interruptions at work can also apply at home. Here’s one that works well.

Name a "personal spot". An area you can call your own. It can be a den, sewing room, shed, or an extra bedroom. If you have children, give them same opportunity.

Purchase a clock sign at office supply store -- type retailer’s use on their front doors--to indicate what time you will emerge. Add a white board for notes. A magnetic board works well for smaller children. Create magnets for each family member: "Bobby wants you."

The Other Side Of The Coin

The other side of this perspective is using interruptions to boost productivity. People sometimes use interruptions to push them into overdrive. It helps them, yet disrupts others. It is a habit that gets them to move past their own procrastination and get their tasks completed. This behavior causes stress-related illness. This can be an addictive behavior sometimes disguised "workaholicism."
