What s a good time for you to talk after work If you use a headset or have a portable phone handy never answer the door without one of them attached to your ear-few things convey an urgent sense of work in progress as well as these. Does it go without saying During work hours absolutely avoid initiating any contact with neighbors or social interactions that are not essential. No one will understand why they can t simply reciprocate whenever the spirit moves them which will always be at a time when you don t have or shouldn t have the time to spare . Be alert to the temptation by your neighbors to take advantage of your availability. A telecommuter I know has been asked at various time to watch a neighbor s child sign for an express package give a key to a service technician feed a neighbor s pet water someone s plants while they were on vacation and serve as a pick-up point for Girl Scout cookies. The accumulation of these intrusions on your time and focus will erode your productivity increase your annoyance and make you feel not very neighborly. When the situation is approaching an emergency it s probably appropriate to help. Recently for example my neighbor s children arrived home from school one day and found their door locked. So they rang my doorbell and I wouldn t have thought of not welcoming them into my home to wait for them parents. Of course right after I offered them milk and cookies along with access to either the library or the television I returned to my office to continue working. Be reasonable about helping when the circumstances justify it However when neighbors make intrusive or inappropriate requests for your help let them know that you ll be busy at work in a phone meeting on a conference call etc. and won t be available. Otherwise you ll become the local drop-off pick-up central as well as headquarters for neighborhood services such as security watch and baby housé pet plant sitting. 0
