A one-week logging method that turns a scattered day into a short list of sources you can actually close, redirect, or accept.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout this book\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterruptions feel random, and they almost never are. A week of them, written down, resolves into a short list of sources — usually four or five — that account for most of the disruption in an ordinary working day. Until they are written down, though, each one arrives as an isolated event, and the only available response is to absorb it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book sets out a one-week logging method deliberately designed to be survivable: one line per interruption, written in the moment, recording the source and nothing else. No timing, no ratings, no reflection. Anything more elaborate gets abandoned by Wednesday, and an abandoned log is worse than no log because it teaches you that the exercise does not work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reading of the log is where the book spends most of its pages. There is a real difference between a symptom and a source: three interruptions about the same unclear document are one source, not three, and closing it removes all three at once. The chapters on sorting sources from symptoms include worked examples from ordinary office and remote-working weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClosing a source usually turns out to require a small change to something upstream rather than a conversation about boundaries — a document that answers the question in advance, a status that is visible without being asked for, a standing time that makes the ad-hoc approach unnecessary. The final chapter is about the interruptions worth accepting, and why a log that ends with nothing accepted has probably been read badly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is inside\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy interruptions feel random and rarely are\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe one-week log, kept in one line each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReading the log: sources, not symptoms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosing a source without a confrontation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat to accept because it is not worth closing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeople who reach the end of a busy day unable to say what they did\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone in a role where being available is part of the job\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReaders who prefer a diagnosis before a solution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThose managing a team and wanting to see where its time actually goes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrom the book\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003eWrite down the interruption, not the excuse for it.
