Getting to the Finish Line in Isolation
Posted by Mike Volpe on Wed, Feb 25, 2009
I am almost at the end of the month. I have to admit it has been difficult to blog every single day, and I fear I have become pretty uninteresting. But I hate to fail. So here I am writing a blog article at 10pm after a long day where I have even more work to do before I get some sleep before an early morning.
What do you do when you have a project that is 80% complete, but you have trouble making time for the last 20%?
Today, I had a project just like that, and I had to lock myself in a room at the office - for two reasons. First, for some peace and quiet. I sit near our sales team, out in the open - the way it should be - but sometimes it makes it hard to concentrate since they are always on the phone. The second reason was so it was hard for people to find me - having been around at the company for a long time means you get a lot of questions from newer folks. Again, I love it, but I needed my space today to finish something.
Have you used the "Isolation Chamber" at work? How often? For what purpose?
