I've seen many articles quoting 23 minutes and 15 seconds to get back into the flow after an interruption (such as this article: Lifehacker - How Long It Takes To Get Back On Track After A Distraction).



What I haven't seen is how efficient the work is during those 23 minutes and 15 seconds. Obviously the time isn't completely wasted, so it's greater than 0% and less than 100%.

          Everyone is different.



          Some deal with interruptions well and get back into the flow very quickly. Others don't.

                    One-line joke

                    A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
