## Author notes / illustrative keys where applicable

1. The reported interruption identifies what displaced planned sustained work and when it happened. Separate the practical source from assumptions about individual discipline.
2. Interruptions needing immediate attention distinguish genuinely time-sensitive work from routine requests that could follow another route. Agree verified escalation boundaries, without treating focus preferences as permission to ignore important responsibilities.
3. A requested protected period identifies when uninterrupted work would be useful. Test its coordination implications and necessary exceptions before setting a shared arrangement.

Interpretation caution: Do not infer individual productivity from interruptions.
