How to deal with interruptions and distractions in order to stay productive

When you expect to have a busy day with a big number of interruptions - unscheduled visitors, calls, tasks etc. you should be ready to take special arrangements which will help you to keep high level of effectiveness. First of all take care of task planning - for cases when you cannot precisely forecast how much time will be taken by unscheduled events you should plan just about 50 percents of your time (another 50 percents of your day are allocated for unplanned events). This can ensure your flexibility to handle unplanned tasks. If you are going to have interruption-intensive day you will not be able to concentrate on complicated tasks, so it is advisable to plan only routine tasks. If after interruption you need to get back to work quickly, but you cannot remember what you were doing you should ask yourself a questions: "What is my priority at the moment? What is the most important task I supposed to do right now?".
