- no_wizard 7y agoWhile I suspect anyone reading this is going to detect at least a small hint of sarcasm, its true. Minimize distractions like this and unsurprisingly, productivity goes up. My biggest one, to add, is having set time for handling administrative tasks, like Email etc. If you can (and I realize all people have caveats), just set a block of time in the morning and in the afternoon to answer email, and otherwise ignore it unless its been flagged a certain way. This is what I do first 30 minutes of my day, I do email catch up before my stand up. After the stand up I take about 15 minutes to update the KanBan, and then thats it for my admin tasks at that point. I may check email again (well I almost always) about half an hour before I leave for the day. The only exception is specific flags I have set and those will always notify.
