With the exception of a few close friends, having someone dropped by unannounced shakes my concentration for at least a couple hours.
The kind of work I do is like holding a house of cards in my head. I am glad to see the social conventions go that make people feel free to expect to come knock over my mental house of cards anytime they want, steal my valuable time with their petty small talk, and treat me like I'm rude because I'm not skilled at cheerfully pretending their intrusions are wanted while I inwardly curse the damage they did to my concentration.
Extroverts have had thousands of years to do things their way. I'm glad to see societal conventions shifting in a way that benefits introverts needs to have uninterrupted time to think.
