Bursts
Michael Wade at Execupundit talks about work patterns with his post Burst vs. Flow. There is some good info in the comments as well. I agree with him that we are more effective at getting tasks done at different points in the day. The key is to try to schedule the burst times when we feel we can avoid interruptions and to plan on checking e-mail etc. when the energy has passed. When you need a burst and are low on energy, try to schedule something that will give you emotional energy prior to the scheduled task. For me, that is checking in with staff or interacting with kids at the Club. How does this concept fit into your workday?
