Have you ever had one of those days where you ran around like a chicken with its head cut off? You didn’t have time for breaks, lunch, or anything on your to-do list? You were insanely busy, yet you didn’t get anything done? Interruptions. When we look at all the times we are interrupted each day, we are not surprised that we didn’t get anything done, yet we are interrupted by “OUR JOB!”
