Apply time boxing.

I'd probably get in trouble for that.

Set your IM status. If you use Instant Messenger, when you don’t want to be disturbed, make use of the status and set yourself as being away or busy.

HAHAHAHAHA then they just walk over and say "hey, I can't get you through IM and you haven't picked up your phone. I just have a quick question" which then launches into a dissertation.

Use the headphones but leave the music off.

This further perpretrates the "I CAN'T HEAR YOU" philosophy.

Don’t make long personal calls.

And see the previous tip for when your cube mates do.

Thanks for the chuckle, Amy.
