5 Minute single task test: Can you be distraction free? - ZipMinis Blog-ology: Science of Blogging


Mines the difficulty in spending just 5 minutes focused on a single task without distraction because of the hectic, social environment we work in.

Notes that on average a person is interrupted more than 15 times in an hour, which has a dramatic effect on our efficiency and performance throughout the day. That equals 120 interruptions  in eight hours, and not only is there the time spent with the disruption, perhaps even more time is required to refocus.
