Jason Fried gives a TEDtalk about productivity, offices, and why involuntary interruptions are the enemy of work.
This is why, even though I’m a full-time writer now, I still have to go to the coffee shop to meet my daily word count goals.

I’ve found that sometimes I need uninterrupted time to work, but that’s only really when I’m “in the zone.” That only happens when I’m really interested in something I’m working on. Most of the time I take short breaks from whatever I’m working on every 30 minutes or so. The key, though, is keeping those breaks to 5-10 minutes to refocus. Any longer and I find I’m just wasting time.
Yeah, the speaker makes a distinction between voluntary and involuntary distractions.
