Software developers unproductive because emails?

When researching the web when an article about a business consultant I have fallen into the hands, which caused me to frown.
This has specializes in IT companies, particularly software developers Housing and reported in the article about optimization potential in the software development.
35% of software developers capacities, he claims, are thereby squandered that any interference the developer distract from the actual work.
So are an extraordinary nuisance emails to the developers!
In his view, this is because a programmer after distraction (eg reading an e-mail) requires 15 to 60 minutes to get back into the labor EPAM.
In addition, the error rate increases after such an interruption.
Whether this training period is really so high, in some cases even address.
But what I anzweifel that these times with position optimization can lead to a 35% performance increase.
Many of these so-called disorder namely also positive sides:
  • They can teach technical information. Emails, information for the currently existing problem, to which the developer works include. However, a colleague who came past, do his opinion and his ideas for the current task known.
  • Emails or conversations with colleagues can be informative for the developer generally professionally. It can provide general information about the company or the work to be conveyed, such as dates for the next meeting, the current status of the ongoing project, etc. These messages would otherwise have otherwise come to the developer, which also resumes Time Developer to complete.
  • Finally, there is also the call or the e-mail of a private nature, postive sides. Not only did a little break sometimes is good, it can also happen that one a current problem after an interruption considered differently than before. Because even a distance from the current work is created by a change of subject.
Especially while working out a solution to a problem can sometimes be Decisive interruption, as I myself have noticed again and again.
After all, who does not know to have long been nibbling on an issue and then, to find suddenly after a short break the solution.
Of course, an excessive seizures of "disturbances" do not fördernt, but this leads to 35% loss of productivity?
There is also the dustbin of meaningless circulars or other spam.
What do you think, what is your opinion?
