My first real job that I had was one where I actually needed to hear everyone else’s conversations~and I was really good at it! I actually prided myself on it. Too bad the job was less than fabulous.
I’m a supervisor at my current job (what was I thinking…but I was only recently diagnosed with ADD). I have an office, but can’t shut my door because I need to seem “accessible”. I understand that, but it’s very difficult to focus with the constant interruptions. I actually talked to my boss about it…she had a good idea of scheduling time to meet with my team throughout the day. Then I wouldn’t be the victim of pop ins. I’m still trying to figure out the best way to present this…I’m a friendly person and I don’t want to offend anyone.
That doesn’t really help you, though. Would you be able to listen to music? At least it’s only one sound instead of many. Working from home would be great~but holy distractions!
