Interruption science

Interruption science is the study of how people's attention is affected by distractions and how people can perform tasks with fewer interruptions. In other words, interruption science tries to figure out how to help people focus on one task at a time so they don't get distracted. It can look at things like how to change a work environment so workers don't get interrupted during important tasks, or how people can manage their time better to keep interruptions from getting in the way of important work. For example, interruption science could look at how people can put their phones away during work hours and use time-saving strategies to keep from having too many interruptions.
