.@j_w_baker suggests at #CollabW18 to leave your door open to allow people to collaborate productively.
As someone who doesn't have an office door, I deal with the opposite problem: so many interruptions. I'd relish a chance to shut people out when I need to focus!

As someone with a door that is left open a lot, I agree: if I didn't close it (by perhaps working in a coffee shop) I would not be productive (for any definition of productivity).

I've worked in an open plan office, so I get that. I just also get how terrible for productivity corridors of closed doors are.

I agree with the value it gives to culture but like my tweet about phonecalls: popping in to someone else's office without checking that they're available immediately values your time above theirs.

This happens to me a lot so I specifically consider time in the office as time where I won't be productive on any projects that need personal thought. (I consider that time to be productive in terms of "talking to people").

Yeah, email or phone before popping in is definitely a good idea especially since I find it's often very gendered in my experience who gets interrupted often vs has their time respected.

That's not at all to say I don't think some of the interruptions I've had over the years haven't been productive in and of themselves, of course!
