讓一周有一天，什麼也不能打擾你

當會議不斷擾亂你的工作流程，損害你的工作效率時，你不能做深刻的創造性的工作。給自己時間和空間去集中精力，一周中有一天什麼也不會打擾你——沒有簡訊，沒有電子郵件，沒有電話，絕對沒有會議。

在你的行事曆上封鎖這一天，並告訴同事將無法聯絡上你，因為你正在從事關鍵項目。當然，一些緊急的事情可能會出現，但是盡你最大的努力讓這一天不被破壞。

堅持一條簡單的規則：你可以在一周內會有一天別人聯絡不到你——也許是星期三或是星期六——但是你不能把它從行事曆中删除，或者推到下個星期。

當你恢復到日常工作中，專注於工作時，讓你周圍的人更能夠尊重你。

Have One Day a Week When Nothing Can Interrupt You

You can’t do deep, creative work when meetings constantly disrupt your flow and hurt your productivity. To give yourself time and space to focus, have one day a week when nothing can interrupt you — no texts, no emails, no phone calls, and absolutely no meetings.

Block this day off on your calendar, and tell colleagues that you’ll be unreachable because you’re working on critical projects. Of course, something urgent may come up anyway, but try your best to keep the day from being compromised.

Stick to a simple rule: You can move your unreachable day around during a week — maybe it’s Wednesday one week and Thursday the next — but you can’t remove it from your calendar or push it to the following week.

As you get into the routine of taking these days for focused work, it’ll be easier for you, and the people around you, to keep them sacred.
