So be flexible!
3. Suppress distractions
Distractions should be avoided at any cost. They can come in many forms, for example; Having too many unnecessary meetings amidst work time, scrolling social media, and using phones.
Employees tend to spend an average of 56 minutes using their phones at work everyday.

Time tops the list of the most valuable resources. It doesn’t matter if it’s your business or personal life, you will have limited time to do anything. Learning to manage time efficiently is a valuable skill to master.
