I'm reading a fascinating article titled Making Work Work For You in Fortune Magazine. A University of California at Irvine study on work habits found that the average person is interrupted every eleven minutes. And it takes twenty-five minutes to return to your task after being interrupted.
For what it's worth, a few of the ways I avoid interruptions are working offsite and turning up my iPod really loud :) I'm also trying to schedule stratetegically. Monday and Friday are focus days where I try not to schedule appointments. I've also found that need to intentionally not check my email. Sometimes I'll mindlessly check email and get totally derailed mentally.
