It might be helpful to have a candid conversation with your coworker about theinterrupting. You could say something like, “I understand that you need help sometimes, but can you please try to wait until I’ve finished what I’m doing before you interrupt me? It’s becoming difficult for me to concentrate on my tasks with so many interruptions.” Polite phrases like “I appreciate it when you don’t interrupt me” or “Can we discuss this later?” may also help get your point across without offending your co-worker. Ultimately, it is up to them to respect your work space and stop interruptingyou.
