We live in a state of constant messaging with new tools coming out all the time to try to help us communicate but maybe this is just enabling us to get distracted and interrupted even more.

There are consequences of getting interrupted all the time and it can get in the way of your focus and simply getting things done.
How do you handle the constant interruptions?
