Do you control “nibblers” or do “nibblers” nab you?
Nibblers are distractions that sabotage your plans, gnaw at
your ability to concentrate, and steal hours every day. There are “internal”
nibblers, personal dispositions or behavior tendencies such as perfectionism
and procrastination, which prevent you from completing your plans. There are
also “external” nibblers, interruptions like meetings, calls, e-mails or
drop-by visits that can easily derail your day.
Take a close look at these common nibblers. Which ones most
frequently derail your best-laid plans?...
I hate to say it, but Twitter & Facebook are huge nibblers for me. When I'm at work, I usually have to put them in "time out". I will actually put a post it note that say you are allowed to check them at noon, two and quitting time and that is all. Keeps 'em in check!
