Are you ‘available’?

‘Available’ means you’re ready to be interrupted:

You’re available for incoming chat messages that expect an immediate response.

You’re available to receive more emails from people asking for your attention.

You’re available to swap deep work for light chatter when anyone asks.

You’re available to be taken away from the focus your work needs from you.

You’re available to receive push notifications from every marketer behind every app.

You’re ‘available’.
