How often do you allow your personal business affect your work?

Nah, i wouldnt let it. I mean, unless it helps you at your job, and makes pepeole feel bad for you or something, and your boss starts going easy on you, i dont think you should let personal bussiness, effect your work. Because, ussually if you do, you cant focus while your on the job, so that isn't good at all. The boss will get mad, and probably fire you, and you do want that, at least i don't think you do.

The rule is when you walk in the door at work you put everything else out of your mind. But when you walk out the door at work you put your work behind you. Sadly that simply does not work in todays modern world. Yes when things fall apart at home then it will affect your work and every other aspect of you life. TO minimize these effects at work try to follow the rule above. I do that by prayer. I count on God to know what is best for me in my life. If that relationship I tried did not work I give myself time to mourn, and if possible I pray for the happiness of the other person. I do this on my private time. At work if you can play music make it upbeat the noise will help you stay up. (for me this is Chris Ledoux). If you have to allow yourself a few minutes (10 pr 15) each morning or afternoon to mourn if you need it then put it aside and know you can be sad again later. But know that life is about moving forward so you have to do that.

I've worked in the public for years and so I am pretty used to leaving my personal problems at the door when I go into work. I know it is hard sometimes but you really have to. I mean...I went thru a couple of breakups and problems with kids and had to work. You can't help but have these things on your mind but if you get into your job then with any luck you will at least get your mind off of things for a bit. Working in the public it is very important to learn to at least put on a good cover-up. Customers deserve a pleasant and smiling person serving them. If you work on construction or machinery....it is vital to your safety to be able to put your problems aside and focus on your job.

I rarely let my personal business affect my work. And I think I'm actually adept at not mixing both. In order to be professional - I think it's important to draw the line and leave where AT WORK, and leave life's issues at home. And as much as I don't like taking work home where it mixes with my personal life, sometimes I have to. I think the best way to not let each other mix is when you're at work - focus on working and your job.

I really don't allow my personal life interrupt my work. I don't want to be fired from my job just because of personal problems that have not been resolve. I would probably set it aside until the job is done and then go back to the personal dilemma that I have been facing. I know that many of the people are so emotional and I mean they let their personal problem interfere with their job. They get easily angry during their job and they don't listen to criticisms too they just like to do things their own way.

I try my hardest not to let my personal life interfer with my business life. I don't talk about my personal life with my collegues and I don't gossip at work. I find that it's easier to keep the peace on the work environment if I don't listen to gossip either. I'm there to do my job an go home. Don't get me wrong I'm friends with my coworkers and we go to lunch together and things of that nature but we talk about work relates things while at lunch and keep the conversations light and polite.
