A project manager here used to say that it takes upwards of 25 minutes
to get back on track after an interruption. He had been a project
manager at a good-sized utility here before, so I assume it is a known
fact. I googled for "computer programmer interruption" and got lots of
hits, including this that refers to several other publications -
http://www.futurepundit.com/archives/004149.html
One item from that article reads -
"At Microsoft each interrupt costs an extra 15 minutes for a full return
to work after the interrupt completed."
Now at home, just don't answer the doorbell for the March of Dimes or
neighborhood watch folks!

minutes putting on clothes and driving into the office? Versus the 180
minutes you lose every day in the office due to interruptions?
