Don't you find it distracting listening to people ask the consultants questions all day? Often times about projects you work on? I don't think there is any cure

Don't you find it distracting listening to people ask the consultants questions all day? Often times about projects you work on? I don't think there is any cure for interruptions other than no at-desk meeting rules or private offices.

Also, it's nice when you are not consulting to actively ignore whatever is being said to the consultants, so you can be more in the zone. > I don't think there is any cure for interruptions other than no at-desk meeting rules or private offices. That's what we do at my current company (try to limit drive-bys) and it's horrible - I just get people booking time in my calendar every 20 mins, so that it's not a drive-by when they want to interrupt me.

Just something that will glow red for 'dont disturb,' orange for 'only if you have to' and green for 'go right ahead.' If someone wants to make (a Kickstarter for) a simple ball that does this I'll gladly transfer my domain names interruptiball.com and interruptaball.com to you by the way. ;)
- X-Istence 14y agoI've thought about doing something like this, and tying it into a web based services so you can see what state everyone is in. Might work on this some in the near future, but I am not sure if I want to commit to a Kickstarter ;-)
- mtrimpe 14y agoIf/when you do... just ping me and I'll hand over the domain names ;)
