Problem Solving: Getting what you need by overcoming obstacles to effectiveness

Scenario:

You are working on updating your Mahadarshan program portfolio and making sure you have everything necessary to make a good sizes and informative presentation in front of the TEAM India audience. In addition, you are also working on an essay you were submitting the next day to the TEAM India about leadership and its principles. For your tasks to be completed well and effectively, you had to have a quiet place to work and think. However, your wish was not being granted for one of your "friends" was interrupting your train of thought in many ways. As you were using the computer to type up your essay, she came online and began bothering you about what you were doing for the hero project. When you refused to speak to her and closed the chat box, she began sending e-mails by the dozens. Everytime she did, a notification was displayed on your right-hand side. This was becoming increasingly distractive. Next, when she realized that you were not replying to her e-mails, she began calling you on your cell phone. You not picking up did nothing whatsoever to discourage her. Instead, she tried your home phone repeatedly. Soon, you were unable to think and work on your portfolio. WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?

"Answer":

A leader would make sure to remove anything that could prove to be an obstacle to the effectiveness of your productivity. In your case, a leader would turn off all notifications, not sign into anything that may open a means of communication, and isolate themself from phones or noises. This would ensure excellent productivity!
