" Get a good idea and stay with it, and work it until it's done and done right' - By Walt Disney
Sometimes we may have a habit of leaving things incomplete whenever we are interrupted and going to the next issue. A normal day is a day full of interruptions. A perfectly uninterrupted time is not possible. As you are working, you may be interrupted by phone calls, visitors or any other type of interupptions. While you are doing a job and if you are interuppted in between, go back to same job which was interuppted and do not pick up the next job unless you complete it.
It is likely that you will be asked to handle an equally important task in hand. Do it accepting it as a reality. However, after the interupption is over, go back to the interuppted task. It is something like understanding a travel. When your journey is interuppted due to traffic jam, or diversion, you accept it as a reality and take a deviation. You join the main road after the interupption is over. Keep this example in mind next time you are interuppted.
Remember what Edward Deming said : " Constancy of purpose and consistency of action". The ability to bounce back after an interupption is a very critical skill for succeeding in life.
