How often do you let your time get chewed up by others? Now you don’t consciously set out to let people waste your time, however without realising it you are probably allowing it to happen.

One of my clients, John, recently hired a new team member. At his previous workplace, Barry had a boss who always had his door open and let the staff wander in. Barry’s boss liked to have an ‘open door’ to show that he was accessible to his team. That sounds very noble but the reality is, that Barry’s ex boss would get very little done for himself as he was constantly letting others interrupt him.
