Little by little piles up to become unfinished work load.Say Emails for example can pile up as people normally assume they will just go through them once done with the major work load.To avoid the pile it's good to dedicate atleast an average of 30 minutes to answer emails on merit.
6.Being an interrupter
Remember when we always had people in class asking questions right after the lunch bell?Well the office situation is a professional setting you wait for someone to finish talking and then ask the questions.Avoid being the person who interupts mid conversation before someone even finishes a sentence.
