Yes I see your point.  Maybe it'= s too ambitious to determine productivity.  But knowing how much time = is spent on the interruption (taskerruption) would be a good start.<= /div>

Seems to me the danger of interruptions is not how m= uch time they take
up, but how much time it takes= you to recover from them, and get back to
work. Much harder to clock!
