Meanwhile, you can do things that will help keep you on track. For instance, write checklists and tape them to the desk/register. If you lose track you can refer back to the checklist easily. Prioritize your work tasks on a TO DO list and only try to do one thing at a time. When you're interrupted, take care of the customer but then immediately go back to your TO DOs.

Good luck!
Thank you, I have tried writing checklists on post its, and keeping them on the drawer under my register. I remove them daily. Every time My Boss sees them, he says I can't do that, and he throws them away. I am just at a loss as to what to do.
