All of the questions about making a career pivot come from the Pivot Profiles magazine by Mike Kim

No matter how you plan your day you have to know you will get interrupted. 

If you struggle with not getting enough done because you get interrupted, look at your schedule and consider if you are doing work you should not be doing. Also, consider if you are overplanning.
