Sounds like me too, a crisis will definitely keep me sharply focused on a task, but unfortunately it also invokes the stress response in my body and that don’t go away as quickly as the crisis does. I was actually quite sick a few weeks ago because stress overwhelmed my body’s ability to fight off an infection.

Lately I have had to resort to unplugging the phone and computer – I did get my work done and made my deadlines. It was still stressful, but it would have been over-the-top if I’d had to deal with the phone and email and other distractions. So I might keep doing that, I have an override on the VOIP system we use for the phones, I can set blocks of time where the phone won’t ring at all and it goes directly to voicemail, which comes in the form of an email attachment.

I also need to work alone too. I’m very distracted otherwise.
