Working hard to reduce my “noise” at work.  I have turned off my notifiers for email and other “software” so that I can focus on work and get things done.  I have also started blocking out time as “busy” for the actual work to get done to avoid having things like meetings in the middle of things.

I have to now shift to managing expectations.  There is a culture that email is urgent and now and I have to get those who write them to realize that I am not treating it that way. I also have to be some what compassionate to their needs of at least informing them of this shift.

Here’s to finding Zen at the workplace!
