Phones

Much like email you can and should ignore the phones until you have time later to respond to any calls that require you to do so. In this case must phones have caller ID so this is even more helpful to help you limit your 'phone' time. By receiving or making needless calls you are cutting into your work time and this is no way to increase productivity.
