So I'm catching up on all your posts since then! I haven't got much advice to give I'm afraid as the nature of my job is very different. About 20% of what I do is support, and so consists of unscheduled interruptions. I'm usually glad to handle them as they are more interesting than my ongoing projects. That ongoing work has very long timescales, and I set my own deadlines, so things move easily aside to handle the interruptions. I'd imagine it will take a couple of years to find your best way of working keeping everything in balance. Even though I subscribed to your blog when you first posted somehow nothing came through.

I'm not even close to getting it right, but I am convinced that the balance between 'not doing enough' and 'doing too much' is something that we all have to constantly work on.
