Being interrupted while thinking

Being interrupted while thinking

In many work situations, taking time to think is necessary.
It is part of doing things properly: understanding the situation, weighing constraints, choosing words.

In reality, this time is often interrupted.

This table starts from that ordinary situation:
being interrupted while trying to concentrate, decide, or make sense of something at work.

You describe how interruptions happen in their daily professional life:
during meetings, in open offices, through urgency, expectations, or habits of speaking quickly.

You talk about what changes when thinking time is cut short:
decisions made too fast, ideas left unfinished, fatigue, irritation, or withdrawal.
