How often do you start your day with a plan, only to have it derailed by constant interruptions?

A phone call here, an email ping there, a colleague stopping by with a “quick question”—before you know it, your focus is shot, and you're scrambling to pick up where you left off.

Now, let me ask you this:

• How many times a day do you get interrupted?
• How long does it take you to get back on track after each one?
• What would your workday look like if you could reclaim those lost hours?

Here’s something that might shock you—on average, professionals lose two hours every single day to interruptions and the time it takes to refocus. That’s 10 hours a week—an entire workday—just slipping away.

But what if it didn’t have to be this way?

In this episode, I discuss:

✅ The Four Types Of Interruptions
✅ The Hidden Costs Of Interruptions for Accountants
✅ The Brain Science Behind Interruptions
✅ The Power of Boundaries
✅ Becoming a Smarter Accountant: Learning To Effectively Handle Interruptions
✅ Key Takeaway And Action Item

Tune in to The Smarter Accountant Podcast today and join the discussion about everything you need to know about handling interruptions.
