This is how you do a MEMO LOL!\n\n\nMEMO: To Staff Members\n\nSUBJECT: Discontinuation of certain Behaviors\n\n\nIt has come to my attention that too much gossip is being discussed at the water cooler. If you are thirsty, please get your water...drink it and get back to your desk. I have spies and I do not appreciate being the topic of so much gossip. My choice of underclothes is not anyone's business but my own.\n\nIt has also come to my attention that too much time is being spent in the ladies room. Please synchronize your bodily functions to do your Number 2 at home. I do not pay you to sit there and strain until your eyes are redder than a drunk on a binge.\n\nMen, it has come to my attention that some of you are hitting on some of the female employees. I do not pay you young bulls to paw the ground. Until you attain a higher status in this hierarchy --leave sexual harassment to those who are in a supervisory capacity.\n\nThe Company picnic will be Saturday 8:00 A.M. at the city park, please bring your own entertainment, food and drinks.

Exercise more and get off the computer.  Exercise helps your mind focus.

Look for a new job.  I've been in your shoes.  A boring day at work can seem like a week.  Ugh.\n\nWhen I need to get tedious things done I turn on some peppy music, it instantly gets me in a faster pace. (perfect for stuffing envelopes)

Have some interesting and work-pertinent article open on a different page or different tab so when you see the boss coming, you can close what non-work you were doing and then just pretend to read the article.  Then be like, "Hey, boss, I was just so into this article, I didn't hear you come over here."

keep track ( have a small notebook and jot down times, names and actions) of what supervisor left when she was still there, since that is problem for them.  Keep track of what happens anytime she is around without a supervisor.  Don't tell anyone you are doing this.  If someone asks what you are writing down tell them you are working on a TV script about a hair salon and you just had an idea.  :)  Also, you cannot show anyone until you have a script written, you are just jotting down ideas for now.  \n\nAt the end of any month, if you have notes for every week then advise your supervisor of what your notes are and ask what they will do about the situation.  You can give them a COPY of the notes but do not turn over your notebook to anyone.  If they do nothing advise them that you will be contacting corporate about the situation.  \n\nIf you can't do that then you need to change your emotional reaction to the situation.  Keep your eyes open and avoid the person, watch your stuff and protect your customers.

Maybe you have to make a list - could be a form of ADD.  I know I get doing things and get distracted too.  As long as you get the important stuff done.

first, get off yahoo! answers if you really have a lot of work to do. sure, it is highly enjoyable, but it steals time away from you! use it only in your spare time!\n\nanother tips i can give you is to buy a planner, or a small notebook, where you can jot down all that you need to do and keep track of them. cross items out as you finish the task--- it's a highly rewarding action when you are able to do so.\n\nbut i have to warn you, planning is also addictive. you may also spend the whole day making up lists of what you have to do, how you're going to spend your day etc. until there is no more time for you left to do them!\n\nthe key here essentially is being able to have self- control. try having a timer to keep track of the time you spend doing each activity. plan and plan well, but keep allowances and  do not punish yourself for not sticking to the plan as this will only take up more of your time.\n\ntry to multitask as well, but if you have management problems, this might not be too advisable.. \n\ngood luck! :D

Assuming that you work long hours, I would try cutting the hours down at work. If this is impossible, I have a solution that may help. You need to keep your body temp down. If it is hot, put on the AC and dress in a tank top and shorts. If it is cold outside, turn the heat way down and open a window. Now, drink a lot of cold water. Keep a pitcher next to you. This will cause you to have to go to the bathroom more which will keep you alert. Keep away from snacks. Time yourself to study for 30 minutes per subject and then stop. Any more that this and it is too much info for you to remember in the morning. This will also keep you from burn out.

Set up a schedule for the day and focus on your activities. Some people will be looking at you, but only because they are waiting for their appointment and have nothing better to do. Make sure there are magazines and things like that for people to look at. Try not to let it bother you-just keep busy and keep doing a good job!

Find a quiet place where there's no distractions: computers, TV, radio, etc. \nGet everything you need to finish your homework: books, rulers, paper, etc. It's easier to get distracted if you're getting up every now and then to get something.\nSet your mind to it.\nOh yeah, don't spend your time on Yahoo! Answers.

What is making it so hard to concentrate? Is everything OK?\nKnow this for yourself. If there's nothing majorly wrong, try an organizer from Walmart or the drugstore, or index cards with tasks and reminders that you print on them. Dollar stores carry these-and organizers sometimes.\nBe patient with yourself when you make mistakes and find healthy ways of dealing with stress.\nTake care, Buttercup

For one thing, focus on what you want to achieve or what you are supposed to be doing at the moment. Eliminate all distractions.  Concentration is a discipline of the mind so it does take practice especially since we have so many distractions these days.  Try meditation to improve your concentration.

While they are standing there, start writing a memo to your supervisor complaining of an un-named individual who interferes with your productivity because they stand over you while trying to get work done and distract you.  (Hint, be sure to use big font)

work relationships are complicated, they can distract you. if it all goes wrong theres always a pretty high chance you'll end up office gossip. plus alot of companies frown on it so if u do go there, keep it quiet.x
