I wish i could code for 8 hours straight instead of getting interrupted every 20mins. That would be the life

I know what you mean, I get disturbed all the time and spend most of my day helping everyone else in my team. I found that asking for a particular day in the week to be a 'do not disturb ' day helped ....

@bluescreen I tried to implement an 'hour of power' and close my door but ppl just dont get it. This is about the time i turn up the heavy metal to discourage them haha.

Seriously, try the Pomodoro technique. Really helped me.

@Treveloper I'm in an open plan office so don't have the luxury of closing a door, I just tell them at our daily standup that I can't be disturbed

Same here and the worst thing is that we have Designers in the same room. They are constantly taking. I can't imagine that they are working..

@ErrorCoder94 I remembered a co-worker at my last job that went to management and told them he had trouble concentrating... They took that as the perfect excuse to ban all small talk and jokes to 'increase productivity' turning the workplace effectively in a graveyard...

omg. I hope this won't happen at my workplace. In my opinion talking with others isn't exactly the Problem. The volume is the important part.
