Are You Not Getting All of Your Work Done?

Here's an interesting article I ran across this morning:

10 Reasons You're Not Getting Your Work Done

Are you having trouble getting all your work done? Is there a project you can't seem to find time to finish, or something you haven't been able to get started? If it doesn't seem you'll ever be able to cross everything off your "to do" list at work, see if any of the following are keeping you from getting your job done.

1. You have too many distractions.
A recent survey by the research firm NFI Research found that 66 percent of senior executives and managers say e-mail is one of the biggest distractions in the workplace, followed by the crisis of the day and personal interruptions. According to the bosses surveyed, other workplace distractions include unexpected meetings, phone calls, Web surfing, socializing, instant messages and noise.

This is a pretty spot-on list. American workers are at an all time high in productivity. But, we're all too busy to really get things done.
