Gauge the importance of it, if it is important than it needs to be addressed accordingly. If it is something that can wait, politely tell them you will deal with it when you are finished with your current tasks.  Make notes about who is asking and what they are asking so in the future you can try to mitigate the number of interruptions. That can show you a trend of what is going on that needs to be addressed.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Torben X.
