The last days I’ve partly reached a high level of efficiency partly been quite inefficient. I’ve been thinking back and forth on different reasons to why.Of course I find several different reasons but I do find a pattern.

I reach higher efficiency as well as higher output when working by myself in the “quiet part” of the library or when all my colleagues have left the office. It’s often a challenge for me to just focus on the tasks that I have to finish and I easily start to talk to my colleagues about things that I should discuss during lunch-break, in my spare-time or during our strategy meeting.

However, I think it’s important to be able to reach a high level of efficiency even when my colleagues are around.  Therefore, my solution in the future will be to plug in my ipod and don’t let anything they say disturb me. Furthermore I will to the extent it’s possible work in an empty room at the office or at the library when it comes to my studies.
