I do my best work when uninterrupted for long periods. My productivity suffers when I am interrupted seemingly at random by the needs of those inconsiderate enough to assume their need trumps whatever I am working on at the time. Email, texting and instant message are controllable mediums. The only acceptable barrier to the real world interruptions accompanying open concept is a pair of headphones and that is too light a defense in my experience.
