Valid points. I probably came on a bit strong as well. My comments weren’t directed at your title or even content so much as the discussion I’m seeing both here and in my own workplace. I have managers who (God bless them) spend a lot of effort reducing interruptions, and I think that’s a valid effort. That said, over the years I’ve learned to recognize that when I’m buried deeply enough in anything for an interruption to be particularly disruptive, I’m setting myself and whoever has to deal with my work next up for failure. Even more so, working from home with 4 kids who homeschool, it just wouldn’t work if I couldn’t find a way to deal with urgent and jarring interruptions haha.
