I’m losing my ability to concentrate on much of anything in my office. The phone ringing, the fax machine buzzing, the copier, the computers, the printers, the receptionists giggling, patients asking questions—if I’m trying to work or read, I can’t accomplish anything anymore. These constant interruptions as I try to concentrate are so distracting and exhausting. I’m really getting worried about it.
You’re not alone. Where I work, the interruptions are sometimes constant. Every time I’m interrupted, it totally throws me off. I wish I could work at home.
