Interruptions and How to Deal With Them

[Linda Brandon]

I meant to start this new topic yesterday but I was interrupted.

How do you deal with interruptions? Are they sometimes a good thing? Interruptions are a different issue than procrastination but can cut into your productive time just as drastically.

My own personal source of aggravation is the telephone. Caller ID will help you weed out annoying phone calls, and an answering machine will let you call people back when it's convienient for you to do so. If you listen to music and turn it up loud then you won't even hear the phone ring.
