Taskus Interruptus 

When your manager interrupts your assigned task for a different task, causing a moment of disorientation.

Can be invigorating until interrupting the interruptions causes a meltdown (distractions x 4 = confusion²)

Long-term exposure can result in recession attention disorder

I've got nothing accomplished today due to "Taskus Interruptus."

Task A, interrupted by an emergency request for information on Task B which was stopped before completion by a different request for clarification on a production problem on a previous day's task, which was immediately superseded by the need to supply a list of required equipment to perform Task C..which will begin once you finish Task A.

Got it?
