Not gonna win the multitasking beauty pageant

Right on the money this article! After giving instructions for some other project it does take me more time to refocus. Guess it shows that some emails, really should just wait.

In a recent study, a group of Microsoft workers took, on average, 15 minutes to
return to serious mental tasks, like writing reports or computer code, after
responding to incoming e-mail or instant messages. They strayed off to reply to
other messages or browse news, sports or entertainment Web sites.
