How ofter do you get interrupted by a question?

<!-- SC_OFF -->I'm a backend developer and I started tracking how often I get interrupted by a question from anyone (dev, PM, other teams) and how much time I spend trying to figure out the answer. Most of the interruptions come from "Hey, do you have a minute?". However, it is not so easy (at least for me) to ignore or say "latter" for some questions, as most of them are really easy and fast enough to respond and unlock the other part. By the end of the week, I started to think about how much time I spent answering those easy questions. For me, and I think for most of the devs, it is the interruption in the thinking process. I spent at least 3 to 5 hours per week on this. And how about you, do you have any idea of how much time do you spend answering those questions? Does it bother you at all? <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/quiosque_fer (https://www.reddit.com/user/quiosque_fer)
