That isn’t the root problem. Ask why fives times. Why are you being interrupted? Often it is because management would prefer less development if they have more control over the development. I have worked at places where the management genuinely trusted developers and said and did: go forth and make great products for people. (Subscriptions paid the bills). This is rare these days, they, the management structure, often prefer no work being done to work that wasn’t “prioritized.” Often they are aware of a problem but don’t understand how to fix it systemically (if you mention it, the response is, you don’t have to attend these meetings (where decisions affecting you and your work are made), not, let’s see if we can have no Meeting Days once a week. Some bosses want to prove they are tough and in charge and force meetings doe that. Some bosses want to bypass the normal scheduling process for sprint work and have working sessions to do a thing immediately. Perhaps the system is not designed with good layers of isolation and good documentation so you have to commonicate between different people a lot. To reduce the interruptions you have to go back deeper.
