Due to the high number and cost of interruptions at work, several approaches have been suggested to reduce this cost for knowledge workers. [...] Key Method In our research, we developed the FlowLight, that combines a physical traffic-light like LED with an automatic interruptibility measure based on computer interaction data. In a large-scale and long-term field study with 449 participants from 12 countries, we found, amongst other results, that the FlowLight reduced the interruptions of participants by 46…Expand Abstract
