Tell-Tale Sign Things Need to Change: Every time the phone rings, you answer it. This is a major distraction and at times embarrassing, as the caller may catch you off guard with the reason for their call, and you are unprepared for the discussion they want to have with you. Strategy for Digging Out: Offer pre-determined open office hours. Let your calls go to voicemail, listen to the message, and consider your response before returning the call. Another effective method is to offer a link to your schedule using a service such as TimeTrade, but dont offer same-day appointments. Be sure to block off at least one day a week which is free from calls and appointments—and stick to it. More Signs and Strategies: bit.ly/134cYfR
