When I’m juggling time-sensitive projects and dealing with constant interruptions from coworkers, I set clear boundaries by letting them know when I need focused time, often using a “Do Not Disturb” sign or status. I block out specific times in my calendar for uninterrupted work and communicate these periods to my team. Prioritizing my tasks helps me quickly get back on track after an interruption. I also use project management tools to keep everyone updated, which reduces the need for frequent check-ins. Additionally, I designate certain times for addressing questions and take short breaks to regain focus.

Para lidar com interrupções constantes enquanto trabalha em projetos urgentes, estabeleça um sinal visual, como fones de ouvido, para indicar que você está focado. Reserve horários específicos para interações com colegas e comunique suas prioridades. Use a técnica Pomodoro, trabalhando em blocos de tempo, e mantenha uma lista de tarefas para resolver dúvidas posteriormente. Se alguém interromper, explique educadamente que você precisa de foco e que estará disponível em outro momento.
