When there are many breaks in between work, I use time management tools to prioritize the best percentage of work daily before going for the break – priority is given to strategic tasks. I employed the time boxing technique and signalled to my neighbours to abstain from distracting me during these scheduled times. For such contingencies, I always set hour long meetings to handle them swiftly. Another way I can manage interruptions is to review my core working values frequently those that make up my priorities for the working period and prevent interruptions from taking especially important working goals and objectives off track.

In a dynamic office setting, I allocate specific times to manage interruptions from requests and questions. In this way, I have most of my day arranged for deep work. I also emphasize tasks by urgency and impact to ensure that crucial projects are not at risk. With advanced planning, I manage to be responsive as well as productive by making use of tools like calendar blocks and to-do lists to organize everything.
