I have worked in an office job over 14 years. If there is anything that I have learned during these years is that if you let the distraction get you, you will procrastinate, be stressed over by deadlines or feel lousy about yourself.

Therefore it is extremely important to understand the different levels of office distraction and how to prevent or handle them.

Hello Timo. I just LOVE your points and it seems to me that you have some experience. When I'm interrupted by colleagues in my office, I am firm but polite, giving sort, to the point answers and usually they do, get the point. With regards to chats, if you're being bothered, just turn your chat off, or to 'do not disturb', or to 'I'm away... and this way you can concentrate and perhaps go back to that person later asking: 'You were looking for me?'

Also, I don't take coffee or lunch breaks, I do drink coffee, but in my office while working. I don't take lunch because I feel it stunts my rhythm. If I see I'm done I would leave earlier at the end of the day and I don't feel bad about it.
