But that is because you tell them at the moment they actually are interrupting. If you let them know in advance that you are blocked from 10:00am until 11:30am (daily, or on a particular date) they'll understand. It also works the other way around: by not interrupting you outside that particular time block, they won't feel guilty about pulling you off your work. @HurricaneMitch: I experience the same thing.

What I find interesting about time-blocking is my coworker's responses when I tell them I am engaging in my type of time-blocking. When I tell my coworkers that, for me, being distracted is not efficient they typically get offended. It's like they feel that I am talking about them being inefficient, not that I need to be more efficient. So in the end I am just secretive about it. Anyway, great stuff thanks! Wonderful advice.
