    After 2min of email, it takes 68sec to get back on task. To stay focused, we need to stop interrupting ourselves.http://nautil.us/issue/48/chaos/are-you-a-self_interrupter …

        Yet my IT Dept. assumed constant attention to email today with 8 minutes' notice of a shutdown. Still, I must keep control of my time.

      68 seconds is less than I would've expected. Wonder how long it took them to be focused on the task?
