Have you ever found yourself in the following situations?

  • You are working on a rush project for Boss One when Boss Two stops by with an assignment she needs completed "right this minute." You let her know that you’re on deadline for Boss One, but she tells you her project should take priority. At the same time, you're feeling the pressure build as you know your daily work continues to pile up.


  • A client stops by your office unexpectedly to sign a waiver. You know the waiver is somewhere at your desk, but the client's frustration builds and you begin desperately digging through piles of paperwork. He comments that his business must not be important to you if you can't even find his forms.


  • You arrive at work with your day planned and time allocated for all of your important tasks. Mid-morning, you get a phone call from a vendor that requires you to stop what you're working on and find a solution to her problem. After lunch, a coworker hangs around your desk raving about his personal crises. Suddenly, it's 4 p.m. and you're left with a number of to-dos on your list that you were sure you'd have finished by now, and you're dreading staying late to get them completed.
