When it comes to deadlines I don't have any issues...I work best under pressure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-staying-focused-at-work#post-1126457 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 14:04:29 +0000 lamariniere 1126457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very good. I WAH and really have to maximize the time I have to work while DS is at school. I do have weekly deadlines, but I always finish early. </p> <p>But I've always been the type of person who could stay on task and get the job done without procrastinating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-staying-focused-at-work#post-1126433 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 13:57:28 +0000 purrpletulips 1126433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I have a deadline - yes. Without a deadline - no. </p> <p>I've tried giving myself deadlines but it doesn't work because I know they aren't real. I was this way in school as well, wouldn't focus on a project until the last minute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-staying-focused-at-work#post-1126410 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 13:52:19 +0000 doodlepoodle 1126410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm AWFUL lately.

Thank goodness my job entails work around Client driven deadlines! however, the time in between for project/ppl mgmt is all left to me, and I usually leave things til the last min! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-staying-focused-at-work#post-1125891 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 11:14:12 +0000 teamjse 1125891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Clearly I'm not because I'm on HB right now too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-staying-focused-at-work#post-1125886 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 11:13:38 +0000 mrs. wagon 1125886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I'll take that job!!! Can I telecommute? We could do verbal abuse instead of physical. Over Skype. I'd just shout your name in a negative tone every few minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-staying-focused-at-work#post-1125884 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 11:13:07 +0000 DillonLion 1125884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-staying-focused-at-work#post-1125879 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 11:11:55 +0000 lilteacherbee 1125879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha. Well to some extent, I HAVE to stay focused. I mean, I have almost 20 little 4/5 year olds running around! Some days, like today, I lose focus more than others. I'm 33 weeks pregnant and exhausted. I can't run around with the kids on the playground or get on the floor with them as much. I also have to try reallyyyy hard to stay patient. Normally, I'm good when it comes to that, but these days, not so much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-staying-focused-at-work#post-1125873 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 11:10:56 +0000 Rubies 1125873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work well under pressure so if a deadline is really far away, I won't get started until it inches a bit closer. I also have a habit of starting something really early but not finishing until the last second. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-staying-focused-at-work#post-1125868 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 11:09:07 +0000 MsLipGloss 1125868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: Ditto! I used to always work most efficiently (and effectively!) between 5:30-8/9. I am still trying to train myself to work on a different schedule, but have had limited success. : / </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-staying-focused-at-work#post-1125860 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 11:07:04 +0000 artsyfartsy 1125860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I'm on hellobee right now. Lol</p> <p>Sometimes I have good days where I work at 100% and accomplish a lot of tasks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-staying-focused-at-work#post-1125859 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 11:06:48 +0000 HabesBabe 1125859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, considering most of us are on HB during office hours, I'd say not... LOL.</p> <p>It's hard for me because I WFH and little C is always taking my attention away! But I can close the door and have my mom chase after her when I'm on calls, or really need to focus. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-staying-focused-at-work#post-1125857 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 11:06:30 +0000 MamaMoose 1125857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not when there are other people around. I do my best work early in the morning before everyone else gets to the office or late in the afternoon after everyone else is gone. Having a baby to get home to really ate into my most productive hours... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-staying-focused-at-work#post-1125852 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 11:05:14 +0000 mrbee 1125852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I respond best to deadlines... so I've started giving myself deadlines for work projects. It seems to be working! I've been making steady progress lately.</p> <p>I would love to hire someone who just stands next to me and hits me with a ruler every few minutes and tells me to stay focused. Seriously. I read about a guy with ADHD who did that, and he said it was better than taking medication! Haha he basically outsourced his willpower.</p> <p>Are you good at staying focused at work? </p>
