Learn your cubicle neighbor’s habits.
So, breaks and lunches work great for avoiding people who take them, but got a cubicle neighbor that never leaves? If you are across from one of those work through break, work through lunch types, who is constantly at his or her desk, you’ll have no chance to utilize the time when they are away. To make up for this, learn your cubicle neighbor’s habits. For instance, the guy who sits across from me, he pays much less attention to anything that I am doing whenever he has on his headphones. If he is singing along, I’m in the clear for sure. Learn when your cubicle neighbor is paying too much attention to you and when he or she is oblivious to you. Use those moments of oblivion well.
