Why Being Annoying Leads to Great Productivity
Despite my hatred for Forbes’ online slideshows, which insist on moving forward automatically, the content is sometimes well-worth the irritation. Take for instance, this list of the Most Annoying Office Habits:
- Leaving the office kitchen in a mess
- Getting water all over the sink in the bathroom so that when the next person leans against it, they get a line of water on their clothes.
- Turning your radio on loud enough for everyone to hear it.
- Playing solitaire on the PDA during a meeting.
- Borrowing things off a co-worker’s desk without asking or returning them.
- Eating food that’s so potent everyone in the office can smell it.
- Not putting cellphones on vibrate or silence.
- Standing around someone’s desk and talking so it’s hard for them to get them work accomplished.
- Shouting over cubicles to have a conversation.
- Eating food that others bring in but never bringing in anything to reciprocate.
Now tell me: in the relative solitude of your home office, do you encounter any of these? You can pretty much do anything you want, without annoying the heck out of others. While there are still some limitations if you have housemates, they’re probably used to your habits and quirks, meaning their a lot less strict about your behavior. With less toes to step on, you can focus more on your projects, accomplishing them more efficiently.
