Productivity & Organizing Blog Carnival - Barriers to Productivity

We’re under a lot of pressure to get things done, but it’s hard! We face many barriers to productivity, including distractions, interruptions, competing deadlines, the list goes on and on. For this edition of the Productivity & Organizing Blog Carnival, I asked my readers to submit posts about Barriers to Productivity.

Our sponsor for this edition is Folder Marker, a software program designed to keep computer folders organized by priority, status and more. You can learn more about Folder Marker by reading Kristina Ivanova’s post in this Blog Carnival.

Check out all the great submissions, and be sure to show the bloggers your appreciation by leaving comments and sharing their blog posts (or this one) with your network, using the hashtag #POBC in your social media posts.
