The Interruption Log

Most interruptions feel random until you write them down. A one-week logging method that turns a scattered day into a short list of sources you can actually close, redirect, or accept.

Contents

• Why interruptions feel random and rarely are
• The one-week log, kept in one line each
• Reading the log: sources, not symptoms
• Closing a source without a confrontation
• What to accept because it is not worth closing

From the book

Write down the interruption, not the excuse for it. After a week, the excuses vanish and the pattern is left standing on its own.
