> I am definitely not knocked out of the zone when someone asks me a 5 second question and I give an even shorter reply

I’m not understanding how you can possibly understand and prioritise your colleagues requests for help in 5 seconds.

I’d say it takes me 2-3 minutes to understand the average request I get. And it’s 2-3 minutes of deep thought.

We have planning meetings in which we determine priorities once a week and everyday during standup we reevaluate priorities. Do you experience these interruptions daily? If a team has to constantly revise priorities in the middle of the day then that is the symptom of a bigger problem. Do you guys write technical design docs before going into implementation?
